Let's Eat: 101 Recipes to Fill Your Heart & Home - A Cookbook Hardcover – September 5, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
GrossyPelosi is your best friend in the kitchen—actually, he’s family.In his debut cookbook, larger-than-life personality Dan Pelosi offers up a warm hug of home cooking, sharing both comfort food and connection with 101 of his nearest and dearest Italian American recipes. Some have been passed down through his family, and others have been cooked up from scratch—but all are made with love and accompanied by fun, meaningful stories to warm your heart while filling your belly. Read how Bimpy (the 100-year-old grandpa the internet loves to love!) smuggled homemade subs into Yankee Stadium, then craft your ultimate Big Italian Sandwich. Relive the memory of Dan learning how to make his friend’s mom’s stuffed chicken cutlets in their Jersey Shore house (and getting himself adopted into their family), then level up with Prosciutto & Mozzarella–Stuffed Chicken Parm. Learn how Dan’s mom would spring him out of school before the final bell (just to preheat the oven), then make your own Early Dismissal Pot Roast. And rewind to the beginning of Dan’s relationship with his boyfriend, Gus, then recreate the Zabaglione (and the romantic Cheesecake Factory ambiance) that inspired their first “I love you.”
In addition to the staple chapters like Eggs, Appetizers, Pasta, Meat & Fish, and Sweets, you’ll also find deep dives on Italian food recipes like Dough and Marinara, presented with hero recipes you can spin into all kinds of deliciousness. (Don’t worry—his viral Vodka Sawce is here!) Also sprinkled throughout this recipe book are Grossy’s Guides to cooking, cleaning, organizing, and everything you need to become intuitive in your kitchen.
Approachable and tasty, Dan’s recipes are meant to be shared with the ones you love. Set the table, grab a chair, roll up your sleeves . . . now LET’S EAT!
With his warm humor and love for food and cooking radiating off every page, Dan Pelosi is a culinary star in the making. Anyone searching for a new pasta cookbook will find plenty to work with in Dan’s supply of simple “Wednesday night” recipes perfect for weeknight dinners, and the inclusion of his family recipes and traditions make it the perfect Italian cookbook to gift to friends and loved ones.

—Food & Wine
“…he’s sharing the classics, plus recent culinary creations, like his (brilliant!) Rainbow Cookie Loaf Cake.”
—Real Simple

—Simply Recipes
“…for when you just need to get dinner on the table.”
—Stained Page News (IACP Award Finalist)

—Deb Perelman, New York Times bestselling author of Smitten Kitchen Keepers
“In a shock to no one, Dan’s debut cookbook is as full of living, laughing, and loving as any cookbook possibly could be. The recipes are homey and unpretentious just like he is—where sitting down with your people to a cozy, delicious meal is the end goal, and there’s joy in the process of getting there. We all yearn be guests at GrossyPelosi’s table, and while I am lucky enough to have been one on a number of occasions, rest assured that diving into Let’s Eat is about as close as you can get.”
—Molly Baz, New York Times bestselling author of Cook This Book
“My dreams of cooking like the adorable Italian grandma I never had have been REALIZED thanks to Dan's gorgeous and hilarious cookbook!”
—Busy Philipps, actor, writer, mom
“To say I’m excited for the world to see Dan’s first cookbook is an understatement! You can feel his passion for food and life shine through on every single page! Let’s Eat is filled to the brim with recipes to nourish your family, your friends, and most importantly yourself! His comprehensive guides to feeding a crowd, keeping a stocked pantry, menu planning, etc. are a mega-bonus and leave no stone unturned as he has you 100% covered! If you’re new to Dan, start with Grossy’s Vodka Sawce and then be prepared to dive headfirst into the rest of this book because it’s exactly what you want to cook EVERY SINGLE DAY.”
—Gaby Dalkin, New York Times bestselling author of What's Gaby Cooking: Take It Easy
“Once you open Dan Pelosi’s Let’s Eat, you quickly realize it isn’t just a cookbook. 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
“Passion permeates the pages.”
—The Strategist

(I am gluten free and there are a lot of gluten recipes, asides from the fried appetizer section I would say most of these can easily be made gf, his mom is gf so he usually just recommends using cup-for-cup which I have done for his recipes before and they've always turned out.)
I saw this self-proclaimed "Meatball" on his book tour in Seattle and he's such a wonderful guy, support him and buy this cookbook. It was a fab Christmas present for my family too!
