Il Viaggio Di Vetri

Philadelphia enjoys one of the countrys most dynamic food scenes, and Marc Vetri is its top culinary talent. Mario Batali called Vetri Ristorante possibly the best Italian restaurant on the East Coast. A parade of prominent national food critics followed and all came to the same conclusion. Vetris refined rustic-Italian cuisine is on brilliant display in VETRI. The recipes showcase the chefs soulful renditions of Italian classics, and accompanying notes by sommelier Jeff Benjamin offer lively lessons on the classic and lesser-known wines of the region. Throughout, Vetri shares tales of his cooking apprenticeship in northern Italy and shows how to bring the lessons he learned there into the home kitchen.
