If you think about any successful meal you've had or made, it has an ability to transport you. It brings you to a different place, whether it's back to your grandmother's table in Italy, or any of those family dinners you remember so fondly from childhood. Every chapter in this book is focused around one table of Chef Ron Suhanosky's life, and the recipes reflect the number of people that can fit around that table. So whether it's a weekday supper for the immediate family, or a holiday celebration for 20 guests, this book has enough delicious food for everyone.
Ron Suhanosky and Colleen Marnell-Suhanosky, graduates of The Culinary Institute of America, are the chef-owners of the acclaimed Sfoglia restaurants on Nantucket and in Manhattan, as well as the store Tutto Sfoglia. In 2003 Sfoglia was named a Rising Star of American Cuisine by the James Beard Foundation. Before opening the first Sfoglia in 1999, Ron worked in the kitchens of such celebrated restaurants as New York City's River Café and Il Buco, Colleen at Gramercy Tavern, and Boston's Biba. They also traveled together to Italy, cooking at such restaurants as Cibréo in Florence and La Crota in Alba. The Suhanoskys live with their three children in New York City and on Nantucket.
