When Molly Wizenberg married Brandon Pettit, he was a trained composer with a handful of offbeat interests: espresso machines, wooden boats, violin-building, and ice cream–making. So when Brandon decided to open a pizza restaurant, Molly was supportive—not because she wanted him to do it, but because the idea was so far-fetched that she didn’t think he would. Before she knew it, he’d signed a lease on a space. The restaurant, Delancey, was going to be a reality, and all of Molly’s assumptions about her marriage were about to change.
Together they built Delancey: gutting and renovating the space on a cobbled-together budget, developing a menu, hiring staff, and passing inspections. Delancey became a success, and Molly tried to convince herself that she was happy in their new life until—in the heat and pressure of the restaurant kitchen—she realized that she hadn’t been honest with herself or Brandon.
With evocative photos by Molly and twenty new recipes for the kind of simple, delicious food that chefs eat at home, Delancey is a moving and honest account of two young people learning to give in and let go in order to grow together.

If you enjoy food, cooking, restaurants or dream of starting your own business, this is an enticing read. It is an unvarnished, fairly upbeat account of a young Seattle couple who, in the middle of the 2008-200? recession, gather up their gumption, bet on the future and open a restaurant.
Molly is a successful food blogger (of the blog ORANGETTE - named best food blog in the world by the London Times) and author of a New York Times bestseller A HOMEMADE LIFE: STORIES AND RECIPES FROM MY KITCHEN TABLE. Her husband Brandon is a trained composer, but had a passion for pizzas and perhaps opening his own restaurant. Neither had any serious experience in opening a restaurant. What they did have was a love for food and cooking, a willingness to research the business, figure it out and work hard. Molly describes the experience from her vantage point of the highs and lows and conflicting emotions about the undertaking.
Reading this book feels like you are sitting with Molly and Brandon at their successful DELANCEY restaurant, and they are answering your questions over a slice of their fresh-from-the-oven pizza: "So how did you two get in the pizza restaurant business?"
Molly writes about the genesis of DELANCEY'S, the NY inspiration for its name, perfecting their pizza recipes, finding a hospitable location, constructing the restaurant (enjoyed the pouring the concrete for the tables detail), the friends who helped and opening week. Having worked in a popular neighborhood restaurant myself for seven years, was reminded about the ubiquitous restaurant challenges of missing staff, food disasters, tipsy customers etc.. But as one of DELANCEY's regulars observed, even if there's a catastrophe in the kitchen, the customers are usually unaware of the mayhem backstage.
