Mangia is known throughout the New York area for its uncommonly fresh, tasty, and imaginative food. Its innovative menu of market-fresh salads, overflowing sandwiches, warming soups, hearty entrees, and home-baked treats has kept happy New Yorkers coming back for more, day after day. With this book, Mangia's delicious yet surprisingly simple specialties can at last be made at home. Based on the traditional eating styles of the Mediterranean and that area's reverence for simplicity these recipes epitomize the best of casual eating: a satisfying sandwich of goat cheese, grilled radicchio, and roasted red peppers; a comforting cup of scallop and tomato bisque; or a warm-from-the-oven slice of chocolate bread for breakfast. All two hundred recipes in the book are simple to prepare and adapted for the home kitchen, making them perfect choices for a family supper, an effortless dinner party, or an indulgent Sunday brunch. So whether you are looking for party platters, a make-ahead room-temperature dinner, or inspiration for your picnic hamper, Mangia can elevate your everyday cooking and special entertaining to its highest level.
"Mangia" was a whim purchase, but now an indispensible tool in my kitchen. I particularly love the soup recipes--black bean, with homemade salsa and white bean and proscuitto are my favorites. The combination of flavors always hit the spot!
UNIQUE RECIPES - TERRIFIC COOKBOOK!

I could not wait for this cookbook to be published. It has some really super-delicious and unique recipes. Who wants to slave over a hot stove in the middle of summer? Personally, I seldom have time to cook meals that take considerable time to prepare. For this reason, I could not wait to try these salads and was not disappointed; the chicken salad with hazelnut sauce is devine. The soups are just as unique and especially tempting for those cool, rainy days when you just want light, warming fare to take away the chill. The breakfast dishes are also intriguing and for those who just want a casual morning breakfast/brunch or for those times when guests arrive for a visit, you are bound to find something special that would please almost anyone in this fabulous cookbook. There are all sorts of wonderful goodies here, and I cannot wait to try the pickled relish; it looks so yummy. The book is well laid out and organized in a manner that makes everything easy to find - also a plus.
