You’re immediately transported to his delightfully colorful and wildly delicious world of food. This book is a love letter to so many of the dishes Dan grew up eating in his Italian-Portuguese family, and after making dishes like the Fork & Knife Carbonara and the Piri-Piri Roast Chicken, you realize Dan is the best friend (who can cook) you’re lucky to have in your life.”  —Andy Baraghani, New York Times bestselling author of The Cook You Want to Be  “Few books capture the essence of a person better than this one. I feel Dan’s warmth, love, and generosity in every single word. I flip the pages and hear his encouraging voice and the roar of his laughter. His food and photos make my mouth water, and his personal stories make me feel like I’m a part of his family.”  —Rick Martinez, New York Times bestselling author of Mi Cocina “In Dan Pelosi’s exuberant debut cookbook, Let’s Eat, he tells us that his friends call him ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ because he feeds them so well when they visit. Let’s Eat is so congenial, nurturing, and personal that Dan is ‘mom’ to me from now on, too. Dan gleefully brings family and joy back to cookbooks, sharing his Grandma Katherine’s Rice Pudding, Bimpy’s Pizza, and the pot roast that his mom let him skip school to enjoy. His viral Vodka Sawce, which launched his dazzling food career, makes the cut (phew!), and he devotes a giant spread to the gloriously giant Italian sandwich. Dan’s book is like a culinary bear hug—surrounding you with food you want to share with a loud tableful of friends, debating which was better: the Vodka Sawce or the Fork & Knife Carbonara.”   —Amanda Hesser, cofounder of Food52 “Dan, a.k.a. GrossyPelosi, knows exactly what love looks like: stretchy cheese pulls, crispy fried bits, crunchy croutons, and sawce-slicked lips. I can 100% relate to the way food, memory, and emotional wealth are wrapped up in his life, and this book delivers all the joy of standing in his colorful kitchen. As if that weren’t enough, it’s worth its weight in gold for his mom’s cleaning tips alone!""   —Carla Lalli Music, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds So Good "
