New York. Le ricette di culto

I miei nonni sono partiti dalla Russia per emigrare a New York. Io ho fatto il percorso inverso e ho vissuto gli ultimi tredici anni a Parigi, da newyorkese. Spesso mi chiedono se New York mi manca e la gente sembra scioccata quando rispondo che sono stato io a decidere di andarmene. Il fatto è che preferisco essere un newyorkese a Parigi, piuttosto che un newyorkese a New York, perché questo è molto più che banale!
È un po’ come essere Superman. Sulla Terra è un supereroe ma una volta tornato su Krypton sarà un kryptoniano come tanti, uno che se ne va in giro senza nulla di eroico.
Essere un espatriato ha i suoi vantaggi. Tanto per cominciare si arriva a rimpiangere e ad apprezzare tutte quelle cose quotidiane che si davano per scontate. E, per quanto mi riguarda, questo fenomeno si manifesta quasi esclusivamente attraverso il cibo: comincio ad avvertire una punta di nostalgia quando penso alla famosa cheesecake di Junior, a Brooklyn, o a un bialy fragrante di Kossar, e continuo a pensarci fino a trasformare la mia vena nostalgica in una vera e propria ossessione culinaria.
In questo libro ho raccolto le ricette di cui ho più voglia quando sento la mancanza di New York e che, di fatto, riflettono la mia esperienza gastronomica newyorkese: un patchwork di diners greci e gastronomie ebraiche, un po’ di Chinatown vecchia maniera, un pizzico di trashfood, del sano cibo americano e un mucchio di altre cose impilate in un melting-pot assolutamente da provare.
Mescolate tutti questi ingredienti e avrete un biglietto di sola andata per NYC.
Vi auguro buon viaggio.

If you're expecting to discover foodie secrets about NY, this isn't the book for you. It is, however, filled with realistic recipes that could become standards in your home (if they're not already). I could see myself making every single dish. It would a much cooler alternative to a "basics" cookbook for a recent grad or someone learning to cook. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to give it as a gift.

I love New York and so I wasn’t that fussed about whether this was an actual ‘usuable’ cookbook or not. I would have been satisfied with a few ‘spirit of New York’ dishes and some great photos of my second favourite city in the world.

As it happens, there are actually page after page of recipes I can’t wait to try. Smoothies, pancakes, bagels and burgers – my mouth was watering from start to finish. I can’t recommend this one enough, for any fan of NY or cooking, and especially a lover of both. Read the full review here: http://blog.thatbookyoulike.com.au/ha...

I don't usually pick up cookbooks but this one caught my eye as I've always been fascinated with New York. The book is a fun primer on the city's food, peppered with tips on how you can make them at home. The recipes are mostly basic, comfort food, perfect for kitchen newbies hoping to put a dash of New York into their cooking repertoire. I'm excited to try some of them!

🗽🥞Nueva York Las recetas de culto🥞🗽
.
Para nadie es un misterio la pequeña obsesión que tengo con esta cuidad, y si un libro me acerca más a ella tiene que ser mío.
.
En esta ocasión he viajado desde mi cocina hasta la gran manzana y disfrutar de cada plato típico que se puede encontrar en la ciudad.
.
El libro tiene diferentes apartados que muestran lo que es el café, comidas y diferentes platos para poder picar durante el día. También añade los ingredientes y la forma en la que nosotros podemos preparar la receta, eso si, con unas fotos espectaculares que se te hará la boca agua.
.
Sin duda los cinnamon rolls son unos de mis favoritos, por eso os adjunto la foto y ya os adelanto que son medio baja para hacerlos y que mi horno va como quiere, pero en cuanto pise la ciudad va a ser una de las primeras cosas que pruebe.
.
Me ha gustado mucho sumergirme entre estas páginas y disfruta de todo lo que muestra.
.
¿Os gusta cocinar?

un libro de recetas precioso , las recetas de los platos que el autor más desea cuando echa de menos Nueva York y que son una mezcla de "restaurantitos griegos, especias judías, un poco de Chinatown a la antigua, comida basura americana, comida sana americana y mucho más".


130 recetas distribuidas en 7 partes:el café, el desayuno, el brunch, la comida, para picar, a cualquier hora y extras.
Una breve explicación de cada plato, los ingredientes, el tiempo que se tarda en hacerlos y el paso a paso. Todo acompañado de fotos e ilustraciones para poder hacer y saborear alguna o todas estas delicias.
Doughnuts, pancakes, lassi de mango, banana bread, bagels, corn bread, apple pie, brownies, marshmallow... Y además direcciones en Manhattan y Brooklyn de cafeterias, restaurantes, panaderías e incluso mercados donde poder disfrutar de las recetas y del ambiente de Nueva York.

¡Hola, maitias!
El libro que os traigo hoy, es una auténtica maravilla. Junta una de mis pasiones, la cocina, con una de las ciudades que me tiene enamorada desde que pude visitarla hace dos años: Nueva York 😍.
.
☕El libro ha sido dividido en las comidas principales (salvo la cena), incluido el café, el brunch y unos cuantos extras.
.
🍩Recetas de todo tipo de los lugares newyorquinos que el autor ha considerado de culto (yo tendría alguno más ☺️) escritos con precisión y medidas europeas, editados en un libro con gramaje adecuado y unas fotografías preciosas en mate, hacen del conjunto, una maravillosa opción a tener en cuenta para las próximas compras que se nos avecinan.
.
🗽Dejaros llevar por la magia de la cocina americana, concretamente, la de la Gran Manzana. Oh, yeah!!.

Os traigo esta videoreseña de un libro de cocina ideal para los amantes de la comida americana. Es de @lunwerg y desde luego que querrás dar un bocadito a cada imagen. Son fotos que representan los platos más típicos americanos y que te apetecerá cocinar ya.

Viene una pequeña historia de cada plato y los ingredientes y pasos detallados para que puedas hacer unas recetas deliciosas. Primeros platos, segundos, entrantes, postres... una variedad enorme en un libro súper completo.

There are some fantastic photos - especially enjoyable for a New Yorker away from home. There are many recipes I hoped to see but aren't here, but the ones that are in the book tell a lot about the city and the people.

I've not made a single recipe from this book but I re-read all the time (and always intend to use it), it's a great read and makes NY come to life right in front of you and you turn the pages.

How do you conquer the food Mecca of NYC? By tackling its culinary delights by the time of day. There is an array of Recipes from old school to the more hip ones. Admittedly some items I won’t tackle due to time constraints or because I have my own carefully saved and used NY recipes. But, of the ones I attempted, they were definitely on point. I also loved that almost every recipe featured a photo.

The photographs and the memories they evoke of eating good food in New York City is what makes this cookbook worthwhile for me. The recipes are okay, but nothing all that special. Or at least, I probably have most of them in other books. Still, whenever I feel like indulging in a bit of NYC food nostalgia, this is the book I'll turn to.
