The Del Posto Cookbook

I love great cookbooks and enjoy most. This is beautifully written but not functional for use in everyday cooking. Still happy with my purchase but more of a coffee table book.

I got this as a gift for my husband on valentines day. He used to work at del posto until covid hit and they shut down. He misses his job a lot.. This brought him some joy.. Hes been reading it since yesterday lol

The photography is breathtaking !!!! That is the reason I purchased the book. I have been following Paulette's art for several years and it was so exciting to see her work in a cookbook. She is incredible!!!!!

I gave this as a gift to my daughter's boyfriend, and he told her he loved it. He is a good cook, a gourmet, and eats at that restaurant.I am therefore giving it a four stars, though I have never actually seen or opened the book. I am Italian-American of the old school,and can cook and know good food deaf, dumb and blind. The last cookbook I looked at was a James Beard cookbook about30 years ago because I never made a roast leg of lamb for Christmas. I used to watch Julia Child when she was on television years ago,but never had the money to buy the ingredients nor patience to cook as she did. So long as my memory is intact and I can recall how my mommade bracciola, or the seven fishes, (we refused the eel and baccala because my dad and I schieved it), or "gravy, " etc.... No old time ItaliansI know would cook modern European versions of Italian food anyway, since we were born in the U. S. and only remember the old ways. Idon't judge the neuvelle cuisine, and I am sure it is very good, but I am guessing not many people would have the time, money and patience.

Mark Ladner is an expert at his craft and getting this cookbook will definitely help me work on mine... great recipes for everyone who loves Italian cooking

Everything looks absolutely delicious. It's a beautiful book. I wanted to love this. It's the first cookbook I've ever bought that's just past my pay grade. I'll happily make something out of  How to Roast a Lamb: New Greek Classic Cooking  or  Momofuku  with 7 recipes within a recipe, hand make ravioli, make Julia Child's baguettes to go with a souffle, etc., but this is much more obscure and complicated. One recipe calls for 3 1/2 oz of truffles. The book did, however, assure me that I'd love to eat everything in that restaurant!

Very nice and presentation is marvelous.

this one goes up on the shelf(i collect cookbooks), never to be cooked from...unlike mario's early great cookbooks, this one suffers from the "can't really be reproduced at home" syndrome w/an air of haughtiness....o well.

Buen libro, tiene recetas muy buenas y anécdotas interesantes. Uno de los restaurantes imperdibles en Nueva York. Muy recomendable sin lugar a dudas.

Beautiful book, great looking recipes.
