Oscar Tucci, who purchased the restaurant in 1926, is an icon of dining, and his influence can still be seen in how we eat today. In the 1800s, Delmonico's introduced à la carte dining and white tablecloths to the dining room and created the phenomenon called the 'power lunch'; the Tucci family then developed a strict code of hospitality, etiquette, and operations known as the Delmonico Way. With this book, home cooks and fans of the restaurant can draw from this stylish template to create their own unforgettable evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTold through the eyes of Oscar’s grandson, Max, who grew up in the family business, \u003ci\u003eThe Delmonico Way\u003c\/i\u003e describes the grand mix of business and pleasure that went on in the front of house and behind the scenes, providing entertaining tips and recipes so you can relive the Tucci’s epic Delmonico’s glamour at home. Each chapter is organised around a style of dining that Delmonico’s pioneered or perfected, so you can host an impressive power lunch (featuring the restaurant’s signature wedge salad); a glamorous cocktail soirée before a night on the town with oysters Rockefeller and shrimp cocktail; and the perfect romantic dinner with a show-stopping seafood tower and ribeye Bordelaise for two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47253512847596,"sku":"9780847872039","price":125.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23989083482489.jpg?v=1769473086"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/becky-libourel-diamond.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
