From the IACP Award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller Twelve Recipes comes a charming vegetable-focused cookbook with recipes that add depths of flavor using three key ingredients: almonds, anchovies, and pancetta.
Cal Peternell’s food harks back to the ways people have eaten for generations—using vegetables as the center of the plate, seasoned with a little bit of meat or fish to create a delicious and satisfying meal. Across the world, people love how a smoky ham hock can transform pots of beans and skillets of greens into a savory feast; how rice absorbs the flavors of chicken stock when simmered over low heat; how shavings of bonito brine broths. Like our ancestors, Cal knows that you don’t need a slab of steak, pork, chicken, or fish to eat well; a little of the right kind of meat goes a long way.
While the revered chef’s method of cooking emphasizes flavor, it’s about so much more. Taking savory little bites of vegetables is inarguably better than big meaty mouthfuls. It’s healthy, more sustainable, and economical. And it allows us to truly savor that occasion piece of grilled steak, roasted chicken, or fried fish fillet when we indulge. In Almonds, Anchovies, and Pancetta, Cal centers on three distinctive flavors that boost any dish, allowing even the most discriminating palates to enjoy healthful, nutritious meals that taste sublime. Cal includes sixty recipes for main meals, including pastas, salads, and appetizers, as well as "side" dishes that can be featured alongside fish or meat, or put together with a few others to make a meal, including:
Almonds
Snap Peas Amandine
Baked, Stuffed Vegetables with Almonds, Currants, Saffron, and Breadcrumbs
Steamed Clams with Almond and Parsley Butter

Anchovies

Pancetta

Salsa Rustica with Egg and Pancetta
Arugula and Fennel Salad with Mint, White Beans, and Crisped Prosciutto

With Almonds, Anchovies, and Pancetta you can eat your vegetables—and savor them as never before!
