Legions of fans line the block as they flock to Emily and Matt Hyland’s flagship restaurants EMILY and the popular spinoff Emmy Squared.

To be clear, this review is for the cookbook itself, I have not tried the recipes yet.
This is my favorite kind of cookbook. There are sections for apps, doughs, pies, drinks and desserts. I believe this is the cookbook companion to a restaurant I haven't visited, and the sections and stories make me feel like I am there. There are pictures of most recipes, and while some of the ingredients are on the exotic/harder to find side in my small city, I am still excited to try these recipes because the look fresh and tasty.
There are recipes for Vietnamese inspired pies, (the exotic/harder to find ingredients accompany these recipes), and I have had the pleasure of having Vietnamese pizza in Tampa, ATL and St. Pete, so I am excited!
Also, there is an entire chapter dedicated to "Detroit" style pies which might be my all time favorite style of pizza. (R.I.P. Pizza Squared, Tampa.) Detroit style for those not in the know, is a square pie, made from an herbed dough, cheese, (lots of cheese) and a smear of sauce down the center. SO good! Can't wait to make it at home!!
Three cheers for pizza! :)

I really liked the authors of this cookbook and their restaurant philosophy. Emily and Matthew Hyland built the beginning of their relationship around pizza. After Matthew worked in several restaurants they decided to open up EMILY, a pizza restaurant. They've since expanded to two other locations and decided to create this cookbook as a way to share their food with a wider audience. While I liked their story and the ideas behind their food and restaurant, I just didn't find that many recipes I wanted to try. But, if you're wanting to expand your homemade pizza game this is one you should definitely check out.

Before this book, I never even knew Detroit pizza was a thing. This is very hipster, but also full of delicious pizza recipes. The backstory is very cute, and the non-pizza food (hello, Emily Burger) is also amazing.
While some of the pasta dishes will probably get a spin in my kitchen, this pizza is more the kind of food I want to eat, rather than make. Since I can easily access Brooklyn, we'll probably just go there to eat over the holidays. But if you can't get to NYC or Nashville easily, and love pizza, I'd definitely pick this up for some inspiration and tips.

Does one read a cookbook? Well, when the kindle price is $2.99, one buys and reads the cookbook. Actually, I checked this out from our library. Thought of buying it for my niece Emily (who lives overseas now). Instead copied a couple of recipes for here. Emily: The Cookbook is based on Emily and Matt Hyland's flagship restaurants Emily (NYC) and the popular spinoff Emmy (my other niece's name) Squared. And, they have a new restaurant named, Violet, which specializes in Rhode Island pizzas.
