An essential pizza book from Brooklyn's beloved Paulie Gee's pizzeria
that reveals the secrets behind their most celebrated pies, alongside
heartwarming stories from their decades-long culinary adventure.
This cookbook is a love story between Paulie, Mary Ann, and pizza. In
2010, at the age of 56, Paulie left a career in corporate IT to turn
his backyard culinary pursuit into his retirement plan. Now that
passion is Paulie Gee’s—a thriving pizzeria business with restaurants
and slice shops in cities all over the US. In this highly anticipated
first cookbook, Paulie and Mary Ann share their secrets not only for
making their inventive, addictive pies at home, but also the lessons
they’ve learned during their 45-year marriage and 15-year restaurant
partnership. (In both food and love, watch the salt.) This book
features over 100 recipes for their insanely popular pizzas like the
Hellboy (a soppressata pie topped with hot honey), the Mo Cheeks (a
tomato and pecorino pie with guanciale), and the In Ricotta da Vegan (a
ricotta pie made with vegan sausage and cheese). There are also family
recipes from their home kitchen (including their famous vegetarian
French onion soup and Paulie's signature Penne a la Jack Daniels), and
a selection of drinks (including the restaurant’s famous limoncello)
and desserts. Also included are recipes featuring collaborations with
some of New York’s other beloved institutions, such as the
Brisket-Five-O, a pizza collaboration with a local BBQ spot. The pizza
recipes include instructions for cooking in a conventional home oven as
well as a wood-fired pizza oven.
Level up your pizza night with this debut book from Brooklyn's famous
Paulie Gee's, featuring over 100 recipes that bring their innovative
combinations and time-tested techniques to home kitchens everywhere.
More than just a pizza cookbook, this collection weaves together their
45-year love story with hard-won restaurant wisdom, featuring both
beloved menu items from Paulie Gee's and cherished family recipes that
showcase the couple's culinary journey from backyard experimenters to
celebrated restaurateurs.
You got this book for a reason: you are tired of microwave TV
dinners, canned food and unhealthy takeouts. You want to enjoy
fast, delicious, cheap and healthy meals that will make eating
alone a worthwhile experience. Well, good news, for this book will
guide you through the journey of healthier eating! From now on,
your kitchen will be your best friend. If there is something about
your kitchen that you don't like (such as the paint on the walls)
then go ahead and change it. You will be spending a bit more time
in this part of your home so why not make it a fun experience every
time. One big advantage of cooking for one is that dish washing
won't be such a chore. All you will ever need is one pair of
cutlery, one bowl, one plate, one cup and one glass. And just
because you're cooking for one does not make it a rush all of the
time. Dedicate a table and a chair to be your dining area, spread
an attractive tablecloth over it and place a vase with some fresh
cut flowers in it.
