New books
Cook Albanian in America
Albanian home cooking translated for the American kitchen — byrek (the layered phyllo pie), tavë kosi (baked lamb under a tangy yogurt-egg custard), the slow-cooked gjellë stews, fërgesë, roasted peppers, and the diaspora cook's supermarket-phyllo workarounds. 38 recipes across 5 chapters, 143 pages. Available in print.
Cook Armenian in America
Armenian home cooking for the modern kitchen — dolma and sarma, lahmajoun, manti, the herb-and-bulgur rhythms of a family table, pilafs, and the slow-simmered stews that anchor a Sunday. The largest of the batch at 173 pages — 46 recipes across 6 chapters. Available in print.
Cook Pizzeria Food at Home
The American pizzeria in book form — the New York foldable slice, the regional styles (Detroit, Sicilian, bar pie, grandma), the slice-shop sides and salads, garlic knots, and the dough science that separates a good pie from a great one. 34 recipes across 5 chapters, 160 pages. Available in print.
Cook Ramen Shop Food at Home
The American ramen counter, recreated at home — bold broths (tonkotsu, shoyu, miso), the noodle-and-tare-and-aromatic-oil geometry, chashu, ajitama eggs, and the creative American-style bowls a ramen shop runs as specials. 31 recipes across 5 chapters, 148 pages. Available in print.
Cook Red Sauce at Home
The Italian-American red-sauce joint, at home — chicken parm, baked ziti, the Sunday gravy with meatballs and sausage, eggplant rollatini, garlic bread, the checkered-tablecloth canon every neighborhood had a version of. 37 recipes across 5 chapters, 153 pages. Available in print.
