More than a restaurant, Cafe Capriccio is also a social institution in
New York's Capital City of Albany, and the center for much convivial activity.
Owner/Chef Jim Rua has written two celebrated books from and about the
Cafe which reflect its extraordinary identity.
The first book, a culinary memoir, is entitled:
Cafe Capriccio
A Tale of Feasts, Fables, Foibles and Felicities
The Culinary memoir is a unique collection of recipes, restaurant lore
and character sketches defining the spirt of restaurant life as never before
described. Along with more than fifty unique recipes, this singular volume,
called a "small sensation" by food writer John Thorne in his literary journal
Cookbook, addresses questions of great practical and philosophical importance
to everyone interested in the mysteries of restaurant life:
Does the Convivial Restaurant Have a Future in the U.S. of A?
Why Can't Restaurants Serve Good Pasta?
The Importance of Leftovers
The Virtuous Rabbit
Do Good Cooks Make Good Restauranteurs?
Should You Believe in Chicken Thighs?
