By Heart Cookbook

By Heart – A Little Comfort, A Lot of Flavor

Food is memory, and for Hailee Catalano, it began with Sunday gravy, meatballs, and pasta alongside her Italian American grandmother. After training at the Culinary Institute of America and cooking in restaurants, Hailee realized what she missed most: the home cooking that made her fall in love with food in the first place.

In By Heart, she brings that passion back to the table with over 100 recipes designed to deliver restaurant-quality flavor from your own kitchen. Expect seasonal pastas (like Pasta alla Norcina with Roasted Squash), veggie-forward dishes (Caponata with Dried Cherries and Green Olives), simple but impressive meats (Roast Chicken with Red Wine Vinegar and Honey), fresh breads, compound butters, and even perfect beach sandwiches. These recipes are comforting, flavorful, and approachable — food made to be cooked, shared, and remembered.
