“Mangiamo!” è uscito nel 2004. Ma perchè il grande e fantasmagorico chef palermitano Nick Stellino non scrive più da allora libri come questo? “Mangiamo!” è un libro di storia. Storia raccontata con le ricette: piatti eleganti, di veloce preparazione e con ingredienti accessibili, conditi con suggerimenti per migliorarne la presentazione. Ecco cosa Amazon scrive di Nick, che fino al 1991 a Wall Street faceva l’agente di borsa prima di dedicarsi alle padelle: |
Nick Stellino grew up in Palermo, on the island of Sicily, and came to the United States in 1975. In 1991, he decided to leave his career as a Wall Street stockbroker in order to follow his dream of becoming a chef. He started his culinary career as a dishwasher. Over time, he apprenticed with the best Italian chefs in America. “I was in heaven at the restaurant,” says Nick. “But I wanted to share my enthusiasm for Italian cooking with more people, I decided a cooking show was the answer.” Employing the energy and dedication that had taken him from Palermo to Wall Street, Nick began calling production companies. His efforts culminated in the highly successful series, Cucina Amore, Nick Stellino’s Family Kitchen and the PBS specials, Nick Stellino’s Dinner Party and Nick Stellino: Food, Love & Family. Nick lives in Los Angeles with his wife Nanci.
