HarperCollins Publishers Inc Num Pang
Book SynopsisIn a city with so many great sandwich joints, Num Pang Sandwich Shop is a standout, receiving high praise. This book provides recipes for all the fan favourites as well as ones for condiments. With touches of graffiti art inspired by the chain's signature urban, hip-hop style, Num Pang looks just as bold as the mouth-watering recipes taste.Trade Review“The food at Num Pang is delicious. No wait… it’s f@*cking delicious! I met Ben Daitz years ago at the Washington Square Park dog run, and he told me that he was gonna open a sandwich place. I bumped into him a couple years later and had no idea that his place was the same place I go to for the most delicious sandwiches in NYC. We eventually collaborated on the most tastiest pastrami sandwich to be tasted. EVER! The sauce that Ben and co-owner Ratha invented should be made into a lip balm so you can just savor and savor and savor. Ben and Ratha’s book is like a collection of magic tricks being revealed. Delicious magic tricks that I can make and eat in my apartment.” —Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, musician “Ratha and Ben are masters of delicious composition. They are virtuosos because they make perfectly balanced sandwiches: no alterations, no additions, no substitutions (less a little extra Sriracha). But each individual element of a num pang is an artwork in and of itself, which makes this quirky and crafty book so delicious and the sandwiches actually simple to replicate at home in my own kitchen. Num Pang is the true and definitive #yumbang!!!” —Mario Batali, chef, entrepreneur “Num Pang is one of those places that opened in NYC and immediately harvested a cult following. There are only two reasons how this is made possible in New York, the most competitive restaurant market in the world: 1) delicious food and 2) amazing culture. The food is delicious, made with care and passion, and comes from two of the best guys around. From the humble descriptions and step-by-step recipes to the awesome narrative and incredible photography, I am stoked to add this book to my collection, and I promise Ben and Ratha, I will COOK THIS BOOK!!!” —Michael Chernow, owner of Seamore’s and co-owner of The Meatball Shop "Cambodia-born Chaupoly and native New Yorker Daitz were both building impressive restaurant industry resumes when they met, one day, at the bar of the Blue Water Grill. They quickly became friends and business partners, opening the Num Pang sandwich shop in Greenwich Village in 2009. Seven years and five additional locations later, the two are spilling their secrets of success in this collection of tangy recipes. They begin by revealing the “holy trinity (of four),” the ingredients that go into every sort of num pang (spoiler alert: cucumber, cilantro, chili mayo, and pickled carrots). Then, rather than focusing on sandwich building, they deconstruct, exploring the many ways of turning fowl, meat, fish, and vegetables into succulent centerpieces that can either be stuffed into a baguette, or served as a main or side dish. Highlights include a chile-basil fried chicken made with buttermilk; glazed five-spice pork belly with a hint of maple syrup; hoisin meatballs; and peppercorn catfish. Dotted throughout are helpful “know this” tip boxes, offering sage advice on skills such as flame-roasting ginger and judging the thickness of coconut milk. There is also a chapter of meals in a bowl with predictable entries such as oxtail stew, surprising options such as oatmeal flavored with tamarind, mango, and papaya, and, just for the heck of it, a traditional matzo ball soup." —Publishers Weekly —

Union Square & Co. Paris Picnic Club
Book SynopsisEvery Friday for a year, Shaheen Peerbhai and Jennie Levitt made a delicious picnic-style meal for their friends. This small tradition soon grew into a clandestine pop-up restaurant, serving much-anticipated lunches to eighty or so hungry guests once a week in different hotspots around Paris. In their charmingly illustrated book, Shaheen and Jennie offer a collection of curated flavorful recipes, taking inspiration from both classic French dishes and a selection of other diverse cuisines that are prominent throughout Paris. Pack your picnic basket with a recipe from the Small Plates chapter, such as the Frenchie Arepas with Caramelized Plum Jam. Be sure to impress the guests at your next casual dinner party with your tartine (open-faced sandwich) Smoked Ham, Brie and Onion Jam with Buttery Almonds and Garlic Zucchini recipe. Also, make sure to always include a plate of Rye, Chocolate, and Sea Salt Cookies to satisfy any companion with a sweet tooth! Along with its delicious recipes andTrade Review"In this charming cookbook, Peerbhai and Levitt share lunch recipes from their pop-up restaurant Paris, offering picnic-friendly fare alongside charming hand-drawnillustrations. Once readers get beyond the term "picnic"--only the most zealous of picnickers will bring to the park raw oysters with pickled rhubarb; aligot, a hot dish of mashed potatoes and stringy cheese; or meatballs in amalfitana sauce--they'll find more than a few dishes that are sure to impress guests without much fuss. There's homemade gravlax with a citrus vinaigrette, simple garlicky Escoffier potatoes, and pistachio and cherry financiers. Some dishes, however, require slightly more time and ingredients than would be feasible for a simple picnic lunch: foie gras with arugula, basil, fresh figs, Iberico ham, and butter croutons, for instance, or desserts that call for infusions of geranium leaves and tuberose flowers. Home cooks will delight in the creative array of meals that fall on the lighter side and are appropriate for impromptu as well as formal gatherings year round. The recipes here are fun, fresh, and perfect to share with friends." --Publishers Weekly "If only we all had friendships like Shaheen and Jennie's--ones focused on gathering people and cooking for them. In Paris Picnic Club, they've created a joyful reminder that great cooking is nothing without the sense of discovery and pleasure that you share with others. You'll find yourself hopscotching in a playground of appealing recipes--make sure you don't miss gems like the Cold-Oven Chicken, which is now a staple in my dinner repertoire." --AMANDA HESSER, cofounder and CEO of Food52 " Brimming over with seasonal produce, the recipes of Shaheen Peerbhai and Jennie Levitt blend classic technique with the diverse flavors of twenty-first-century Paris. A vibrant, eclectic cookbook that radiates modern French charm!" --ANN MAH, author of Mastering the Art of French Eating and The Lost Vintage " A heartwarming celebration of friendship and good food, this gorgeously illustrated book is brimming with fresh and approachable recipes." --CLOTILDE DUSOULIER, author of Tasting Paris: 100 Recipes to Eat Like a Local and the blog Chocolate & Zucchini " A beautifully illustrated celebration of the French table, both old and new, with many delicious recipes to inspire gatherings for years to come." -- JESSIE KANELOS WEINER, illustrator and coauthor of Paris in Stride: An Insider's Walking Guide and illustrator and author of Edible Paradise
