ABOUT :
Growing up cooking the Sunday gravy, meatballs, and pasta alongside her Italian American grandmother, Hailee Catalano developed a huge passion for food. This passion led her to the Culinary Institute of America, and then to cooking in restaurants. But somewhere along the way, Hailee started to miss the home cooking that made her fall in love with food in the first place. Restaurants made it seem like beautifully made food was too difficult to recreate at home.
In By Heart, she presents over 100 restaurant-quality recipes designed to be made in your home kitchen. You'll find seasonal pastas (Pasta alla Norcina with Roasted Squash), veggie-forward recipes designed to make the most of your CSA box (Caponata with Dried Cherries and Green Olives), simple meat dishes (Roast Chicken with Red Wine Vinegar and Honey) breads (Hearty Seeded Rye Bread), butters (Calabrian Chile Honey Butter), condiments (Chicago-Style Fennel Giardiniera), perfect beach sandwiches (Brie and Butter Sandwich with Shallot-y Frisée), simple sweets (Malted Milk Butter Cookies), and so much more.
Inspired by her professional training and love of seasonal cooking, Hailee includes details on how to keep a calm kitchen, navigate a farmers market, make your own broths and the perfect sourdough loaf, and plan out a Friday Night Dinner menu. Carefully crafted from the heart, this is a book you'll return to again and again.

ABOUT :

Hailee Catalano’s culinary journey began in her Sicilian grandmother’s kitchen in Chicago, where Sunday gravy and pasta-making lessons sparked a lifelong passion for cooking. Hailee went on to graduate from the Culinary Institute of America, and worked in acclaimed kitchens around the country for nearly a decade, from Chicago (Dos Urban Cantina, Cellar Door Provisions) to New Jersey (Talde). During the pandemic, Hailee stepped back from the restaurant industry, and turned to TikTok as an outlet for her cooking. She quickly became a social media sensation, alongside her partner Chuck Cruz, with whom she runs her latest channel, 2peoplecooking, boosting her following to over 2.5 million. With the launch of By Heart, Hailee showcases her culinary spirit and expertise, proving that restaurant worthy, seasonally-driven and cozy meals can be made in every home kitchen.
