My thoughts on Peace, Love, and Pasta by Scott Conant: This is a great cookbook! I love Italian food, and the recipes in Mr. Conant’s book are easy to follow and delicious. I love the stories he shares before each recipe, and I’m thrilled there are pictures of most of the dishes.

The first recipe I tried from Peace, Love, and Pasta was the Rack of Lamb on a Bed of Spinach. I didn’t have a rack of lamb on hand, but I did have lamb chops, so I improvised a bit. I also chose to serve this dish with rice. It wasn’t needed, but my kids like it. This was a very tasty dish and easy to cook. I loved the spinach that accompanied it. I will definitely make it again.

   

 

I can’t wait to make more recipes from this book.

 

Would I recommend it? Sure! If you like Italian food, then this would be a great addition to your cookbook library.
 

 
About the book – from Goodreads: From award-winning chef and Food Network personality Scott Conant, a cookbook of restaurant-quality Italian meals that you can make easily in your home kitchen

Thirty-five years into an illustrious career of restaurant openings across the country, widespread acclaim, and frequent appearances on the Food Network’s Chopped and many other shows, Scott Conant has returned home to create his most personal cookbook yet. Meals cooked from simple, fresh ingredients were staples of Conant’s childhood in a New England family with roots in Southern Italy. From his grandparents’ garden to the dinner table, he learned early on to appreciate the nuances of different flavors and ingredients, and the strong connection between food and family.

Focusing on these foods Conant grew up with and the ones he makes for his loved ones today, Peace, Love, and Pasta compiles simple, fresh, and flavorful Italian recipes for the home cook to bring to their own family’s table. These recipes are built on the art of cooking for love, fascination with flavors and ingredients, and the simple pleasures of taste and conviviality.
