Praise for EMILY: The Cookbook

“With EMILY: The Cookbook, the chef Matthew Hyland and his wife and business partner, Emily Hyland, deliver what is perhaps the first really full-throated American pizza cookbook.”—Sam Sifton, The New York Times
 
“The husband-and-wife culinary team behind the New York City restaurants Emily and Emmy Squared serve up more than 100 recipes in their excellent debut collection. . . . The Hylands bring an eclectic flair to some of America’s favorite foodstuffs . . . culled from their restaurant menus, but designed for home kitchens.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Before she was one of New York’s favorite restaurateurs, Emily Hyland was an English teacher, a yoga instructor, and a poet. After meeting her husband, Matt, during college in Rhode Island, her early love of great food (especially pizza!) blossomed and they opened the restaurants Emily, Emmy Squared, and Emily West Village. Matt Hyland is Emily restaurant’s chef and creator of the recipes that have made it famous. A native of Connecticut, a state where excellent pizza is a way of life, Matt came to his appreciation of great pies at an early age. After training at a variety of restaurants in New York, he perfected his craft as a pizzaiolo, and developed a unique approach to making American pizza with timeless techniques. Emily and Matt live in Brooklyn where they make and eat lots of pizza.
