With his 15th cookbook, “Everyday Delicious,” Rocco DiSpirito celebrates what inspired him during the pandemic-induced time at home—a renewed appreciation for “what the core of cooking is all about, which is really taking some ingredients, transforming them, and creating a moment around the table.”
Weeks after opening his newest restaurant in the Hamptons—Il Pellicano Southampton, serving coastal-inspired Italian cuisine—DiSpirito spoke with CFE about the cookbook, food TV, the challenges of catering and his upcoming appearance at the California Restaurant Show in Los Angeles on Aug. 26.
