Divided into the twelve months of the calendar year, Molto Batali offers all new recipes for delicious, festive meals meant for sharing - and perfect for celebrating - with friends and family. From January through December, each chapter includes fresh, simple, seasonal recipes including one major main dish-like a perfectly tender roast - five inventive, mouthwatering veggie sides, three toothsome pasta dishes, and one indulgent dessert. Beautifully designed by the same team who brought Mario's inimitable vision to vivid life in Molto Italiano and Molto Gusto, Molto Batali - with 80-100 full color photographs throughout, high-energy lay out, and sumptuous food shots - not only looks good, but does good, too. A portion of the proceeds from each copy sold will go to benefit The Mario Batali Foundation, the mission of which is to educate and empower children, encouraging them to dream big while providing them with the necessary tools to become an active force for change in today's world. In an effort to do so, the MBF strives to ensure all children are well read, well fed and well cared for.
