 | The Red Cat Cookbook: 125 Recipes from New York City's Favorite Neighborhood Restaurant by Jimmy Bradley
Buy used from: $1.07 I don't live in NYC, so The Red Cat Cookbook by Jimmy Bradley made me curious about this "favorite neighborhood restaurant."

It's a twist on a gratinée classic, tossing together crab, shrimp, scallops, and calamari. A winner. Linda Avery
