Mark McEwan’s Fabbrica: Great Italian Recipes Made Easy for Home

In Mark McEwan’s Fabbrica, celebrity chef Mark McEwan turns his very able hand to Italian cooking—the world’s most universally appealing cuisine. Many of the recipes included were developed at his newest hit restaurant, Fabbrica. Others have evolved from McEwan’s Italian favourites from the past at his critically acclaimed restaurants North 44, Bymark and One. And some come direct from the McEwan family table. All of them have been written with the home cook in mind, which is to say with great flexibility—right down to including instructions for alternate ingredients. The range of dishes offers something for everyone, from simple panini, pizza and pasta to wonderful salads, risottos, and authentic Italian fish, meat and poultry dishes. Many recipes can be prepared in a flash; others take a bit more time and are ideal for the weekend with family and friends. What they all have in common is great flavour.

MARK MCEWAN is a celebrity chef, restaurateur, Food Network Canada TV host of The Heat, and lead judge on Top Chef Canada. His highly acclaimed restaurants include North 44, Bymark, One, Fabbrica and the gourmet food market McEwan. McEwan is the author of Great Food at Home.
