Reviews
“The secret of Eataly’s success? The New York Times described it as “part European open market, part New Age food court, and part New Age learning center.” Now there’s an official cookbook, How to Eataly: A Guide to Buying, Cooking, and Eating Italian Food, produced by Farinetti and the team behind the New York emporium—Mario Batali, Lidia Bastianich, and Joe Bastianich. The book promises the secrets of great Italian cooking straight from the pros behind one of the food world’s most recent megasuccesses.” –Gotham
“…this book offers, the impetus to use the very best ingredients and the tricks that grandmothers know to get the best flavor out of them. In fact, the book reflects founder Oscar Farinetti’s vision for the store…the focus is on regional ingredients, artisanal producers, and traditional recipes. Tips and techniques are combined with a friendly bit of encyclopedia: how the taste and judge olive oil, signs of quality in fresh and dried pasta…Together with photos and recipes, the book indeed provides insight into the Italian way with food from production to preparation to enjoyment. And the Italian love of embellishment. This is the book when you’re ready to venture out of your “home town” and learn the Italian way with caffe, digestivo, pane, verdure, salumi, and all such deliciousness.” –Appetite for Books

“A companion book of sorts to Eataly, the Italian food emporium with more than 26 international locations, this gorgeous volume feels like an encyclopedia, with instructions on everything from how to chop garlic to eating breakfast like an Italian. With forewords by chefs Mario Batali and Lidia Bastianich, the book also features 100 recipes for contemporary Italian dishes.” –Fodors.com
“I have Eataly envy. How to Eataly is not just a cookbook, but a kind of guide to how Italians shop, cook and eat with wonderful photos and all kinds of mini tutorials. The recipes go beyond the well-known and include the kinds of things people really do eat in Italy…The guides in the book include everything from a discussion about Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano, to how Italians use leftover bread, to how to make mozzarella and how to taste olive oil and how Italians eat pizza. But it’s a really fun and fascinating book for any Italian food lover.” –Cooking With Amy Blog
