Hidden behind rust-coloured frontage in the bustling heart of London's Soho, Spuntino is the epitome of New York's vibrant restaurant scene. After bringing the bàcari of Venice to the backstreets of the British capital at his critically acclaimed restaurant POLPO, Russell Norman scoured the scruffiest and quirkiest boroughs of the Big Apple to find authentic inspiration for an urban, machine-age diner. Since its smash-hit opening in 2011, the restaurant has delivered big bold flavours with a dose of swagger to the crowds who flock to its pewter-topped bar.

Spuntino will take you on culinary adventure from London to New York and back, bringing the best of American cuisine to your kitchen. The 120 recipes include zingy salads, juicy sliders, oozing pizzette, boozy desserts and prohibition-era cocktails. You'll get a glimpse of New York foodie heaven as Russell maps out his walks through the city's cultural hubs and quirky neighbourhoods such as East Village and Williamsburg, discovering family-run delis, brasseries, street traders, sweet shops and liquor bars.

With radiant photography by Jenny Zarins capturing New York's visceral grittiness, Spuntino pays homage to the energy, dynamism and extraordinary cuisine that the world's greatest melting pot has inspired.

Review

Nails it (Esquire)

For any New York wannabe who is up for a bit of culinary adventure (Easy Food)

POLPO does what a great cookbook should do: it makes you urgently want to cook and breaks new territory (Daily Telegraph on POLPO)

Wonderful ... the dishes are simple, with relatively few ingredients, but they're inspired. The grilled courgettes with toasted breadcrumbs, for instance, was sublime. The pages of my book are already smeared with olive oil and egg; a good sign (Evening Standard on POLPO)

A present for the greedy gourmets in your life (Observer on POLPO)

Gorgeous (Daily Mail on POLPO)

Recreate the joys of the trendy NY-style restaurant at home (Independent on Sunday)

Brings the best of American cuisine to our kitchens (West Country Foodlover Magazine) --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Russell Norman is an author, restaurateur and broadcaster. He is the founder of the award-winning Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant BRUTTO in London and co-founder of the POLPO group of restaurants and SPUNTINO restaurant and bar.

His first book "POLPO: A Venetian Cookbook (of Sorts)" won the inaugural Waterstones Book of the Year prize in 2012. His second book "SPUNTINO: Comfort Food, New York Style" was published in September 2015 and won the Guild of Food Writers Award in the Food and Travel category.

His most recent book, "VENICE: Four Seasons of Home Cooking" saw him return to the city of his original inspiration to immerse himself in the food culture of genuine Venetian residents. Russell spent 14 months in a humble flat in the Castello district, shopping, cooking and writing through four seasons. He said of the experience: "I exiled myself in the world's most beautiful city for over a year in order to learn to cook like a 90 year-old Venetian granny."

Love this book. Loads of NY vibes, even though Spuntino restaurant is in London. The food is great, some a little fiddly to make, but worth it. It has beautiful pictures of New York and even has some New York food tour walking guides of the best places to go in the big apple.

Lovely book, good and relatively easy recipes

Beautiful book in the vein of Polpo. This was a selfish gift for my mum as it came with the caveat that she has to cook the stuff in there for me.

She loves it
