GrossyPelosi is your best friend in the kitchen--actually, he's family.
In his debut cookbook, larger-than-life personality Dan Pelosi offers up a warm hug of home cooking, sharing both comfort and connection with 101 of his nearest and dearest Italian American recipes. Some have been passed down through his family, and others have been cooked up from scratch--but all are made with love and accompanied by fun, meaningful stories to warm your heart while filling your belly. Read how Bimpy (the 100-year-old grandpa the internet loves to love!) smuggled homemade subs into Yankee Stadium, then craft your ultimate Big Italian Sandwich. Relive the memory of Dan learning how to make his friend's mom's stuffed chicken cutlets in their Jersey Shore house (and getting himself adopted into their family), then level up with Prosciutto & Mozzarella-Stuffed Chicken Parm. Learn how Dan's mom would spring him out of school before the final bell (just to preheat the oven), then make your own Early Dismissal Pot Roast. And rewind to the beginning of Dan's relationship with his boyfriend, Gus, then recreate the Zabaglione (and the romantic Cheesecake Factory ambiance) that inspired their first "I love you."
In addition to the staple chapters like Eggs, Appetizers, Pasta, Meat & Fish, and Sweets, you'll also find deep dives on Dough and Marinara, presented with hero recipes you can spin into all kinds of deliciousness. (Don't worry--his viral Vodka Sawce is here!) Also sprinkled throughout are Grossy's Guides to cooking, cleaning, organizing, and everything you need to become intuitive in your kitchen.
Approachable and tasty, Dan's recipes are meant to be shared with the ones you love. Set the table, grab a chair, roll up your sleeves . . . now LET'S EAT!
