Jordan Frosolone, one of Appetito's favorite chefs and friends, is on the move. After relinquishing his role earlier this year as Executive Chef and Partner of the Leopard at des Artistes on Central Park West, Jordan is developing a new concept with an established Italian restaurateur that will launch in Manhattan this autumn.
While we impatiently wait to share the news of Jordan's next endeavor, and to eat his food again, we thought to ask, based on his encyclopedic knowledge of Italian cuisine, for a list of his favorite Italian cookbooks. (Please note: a few of these books are written in Italian, as noted.)
