By Heart is a love letter to home cooking—rooted in memory, tradition, and the simple joy of making food for the people you love. Inspired by growing up cooking Sunday gravy, meatballs, and pasta alongside her Italian American grandmother, author and chef Hailee Catalano invites readers back into the kitchen where her passion for food first began. After training at the Culinary Institute of America and cooking professionally, Hailee found herself longing for the comforting, approachable meals that made her fall in love with cooking in the first place. Inside this beautifully illustrated cookbook, you’ll find over 100 restaurant-quality recipes thoughtfully designed for the home kitchen. From seasonal pastas like Pasta alla Norcina with Roasted Squash, to vegetable-forward dishes that make the most of your CSA box, to simple yet stunning meat dishes, breads, butters, condiments, sandwiches, and sweets—each recipe is meant to feel achievable, nourishing, and deeply satisfying. By Heart is perfect for anyone who wants to cook with confidence, reconnect with meaningful food traditions, and create meals that are truly meant to be held near and dear.
