About this title

Synopsis

Since it opened its doors in 1999, Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill, with its companion eatery Cioppino’s Enoteca, has become one of Vancouver’s most sought-out restaurants, known internationally for its award-winning wine list and its creative take on traditional Mediterranean dishes. Owner and executive chef Pino Posteraro emphasizes fresh ingredients with a style of cooking, cucina naturale, that recalls his Italian roots.

This collection of more than 100 favourite recipes from the restaurant highlights the breadth of its menu, from Italian classics such as risotto and pasta to New World–inspired fish and seafood dishes to updated versions of much-loved desserts. Written with the home cook in mind, the recipes are easy to follow yet sophisticated, and an extensive section provides basic recipes for stocks, flavoured oils, sauces, confit, vegetables and pasta dough. Easy to read and beautifully designed, Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill is a special book for those who love food, wine and extraordinarily accomplished cooking.
