Tom Colicchio

Craft of Cooking:
Notes and Recipes from a Restaurant Kitchen

Reading • Talk • Booksigning

From Tom Colicchio, chef/co-owner of New York’s acclaimed Gramercy Tavern, comes a book that profiles the food and philosophy of Craft, his unique restaurant in the heart of New York’s Flatiron district, and winner of the 2002 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in America. From its food to its architecture and menu design, Craft has been celebrated for its courageous movement away from culinary theatrics and over-the-top presentations, back to the simple magic of great food.

As he did in his James Beard award-winning book, Think Like a Chef, Colicchio uses Craft of Cooking to teach, tell his story, and offer inspiration to cooks of any skill level. With more than 100 full-color and black-and-white photographs, Craft of Cooking is destined to become a staple of home cooks everywhere—the one “restaurant cookbook” they can’t live without..

Tom Colicchio is the chef/co-owner of New York’s celebrated Gramercy Tavern, ranked New Yorkers’ #1 favorite restaurant in the 2003 Zagat Survey, as well as chef/owner of Craft. Tom also received the 2000 James Beard Award for Best Chef in New York City, and a James Beard award for Best General Cookbook in 2001 for his first book, Think Like a Chef. In 2002 Colicchio opened
Craftbar, a casual adjunct to Craft, CraftSteak in Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Hotel, and introduced CraftKitchen, a line of olive oils and condiments imported from Calabria, Italy. In 2003, Colicchio opened ’wichcraft, next door to Craftbar in New York’s Flatiron district, bringing Craft’s ethic of simplicity and great ingredients to the ever-popular sandwich.

In case of rain, this event will be moved to the Coliseum Books Café.
