Need a boost to get you through the sweaty summer days? Chef Scott Conant (of the three-star L'Impero and acclaimed Alto) has a solution in his new cookbook. Bold Italian focuses on simple Italian dishes with an American flair. The salads, pastas and entrees are solid basics (such as Ricotta Raviolini with Anchovy Butter and Zucchini) that focus on showcasing quality ingredients. He even includes a recipe for Spaghetti with Garlic and Olive Oil--basic, yes, but according to Conant it's less than ideal if made incorrectly. And our mouths were watering when we saw the recipe for Rocher (Crispy Chocolate Bites). Yum. We love Conant's hands-on approach to everyday Italian cooking.
