The Delmonico Way
Old New York glamour, legendary recipes, and the art of the perfect evening.
The Delmonico Way: Sublime Entertaining and Legendary Recipes from the Restaurant That Made New York is Max Tucci's love letter to Delmonico's, the Wall Street landmark that has shaped New York dining since 1827. Tucci's grandfather Oscar Tucci took over the restaurant in 1926 and built its golden era on a strict code of hospitality, great cocktails, and superb food, and his grandson shares that philosophy here.
Published by Rizzoli, the book blends family stories, vintage photographs, and historical ephemera with more than 75 recipes, from signature dishes to classic cocktails. Chapters are built around the experiences that made Delmonico's famous, like the power lunch, the cocktail soirée, and the romantic dinner, with ideas for bringing that same polish to your own table. It is part history, part cookbook, and all glamour, wrapped in a jewel toned cover inspired by a night on the town.
