About American Sfoglino: A Master Class In Handmade Pasta
Product Description "Evan Funke's respect for tradition and detail makes American Sfoglino the perfect introduction to the fresh egg pastas of Emilia Romagna. It's bold in its simplicity and focus." — Missy Robbins, chef/owner of Lilia and MISI A comprehensive guide to making the best pasta in the world: In this debut cookbook from Evan Funke, he shares classic techniques from his Emilia Romagna training and provides accessible instructions for making his award winning sfoglia (sheet pasta) at home. With little more than flour, eggs, and a rolling pin, you too can be a sfoglino (a pasta maker) and create traditional Italian noodles that are perfectly paired with the right sauces. Features recipes for home cooks to recreate 15 classic pasta shapes, spanning simple pappardelle to perfect tortelloni. Beginning with four foundational doughs, American Sfoglino takes readers step by step through recipes for a variety of generous dishes, from essential sauces and broths, like Passata di Pomodoro (Tomato Sauce) and Brodo di Carne (Meat Broth) to luscious Tagliatelle in Bianco con Prosciutto (Tagliatelle with Bacon and Butter) and Lasagna Verde alla Bolognese (Green Bolognese Lasagna). Includes stories from Italy and the kitchen at Felix Trattoria that add the finishing touches to this master class in pasta, while sumptuous photographs and a bold package offer a feast for the eyes. Forget your pasta machine and indulge in the magic of being a sfoglino with the help of the rich imagery and detailed instructions provided by Evan Funke and American Sfoglino. Evan Funke is a master pasta maker and the chef owner of Felix Trattoria in Venice, California. Katie Parla is a food writer and IACP award winning author whose work has appeared in numerous outlets, including the New York Times, Food & Wine, and Saveur. Eric Wolfinger is a James Beard Award winning food photographer. Makes an excellent gift idea for any pasta aficionado or avid Italian cook. Review "Evan Funke is a master pasta technician with the heart of a nonna. American Sfoglino is a true testament of his craft and the only book you'll need to recreate his pasta at home." —Michele Forgione, chef/co-owner of Impasto, Pizzeria Gema, Chez Tousignant, and Da Rosa "This book might just be the finest, most educational tool available about the art of fresh pasta making.Thanks to Evan's maniacal enthusiasm, you may never again be tempted to buy dried, packaged pasta at the supermarket. And before you know it, the word sfoglino will roll off your tongue as expertly as you roll sfoglia itself." —Nancy Silverton, American Chef and winner of the James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Chef Award "Evan shares his deep love and respect for the traditions of hand-rolled pasta in American Sfoglino, where every single shape—from the squiggle of strozzapreti to the parcel of cestini—is explained with care and love, and where each recipe jumps off the page with appetite-inducing beauty." &mdash:Danny Meyer, James Beard Award-winning founder and CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group "Evan Funke unlocks the beauty and craft of true hand-rolled pasta, honoring the traditions Italians have passed down through generations. He educates at-home cooks on the history of pasta shapes and the sacred bond between those shapes and their true match sauces, one of the most important steps when channeling your inner sfoglino. —Sarah Grueneberg, James Beard Award-winning chef/partner of Monteverde Restaurant and Pastificio "Evan Funke's respect for tradition and detail makes American Sfoglino the perfect introduction to the fresh egg pastas of Emilia-Romagna. It's bold in its simplicity and focus." —Missy Robbins, chef/owner of Lilia and MISI "Evan Funke is an obsessive of the highest order and how lucky for all of us that his obsessions focus on pasta, specifically the pasta of Bologna where he perfected the egg-rich, artistically filled, and delicately wrapped treasures of Italy's finest.
