Move over, pizza and burgers--meatballs are taking their rightful place as America's classic go-to comfort food. Now, the owners of New York City's popular eatery The Meatball Shop share their recipes for this year's hottest culinary trend.

In less than a year, The Meatball Shop has been featured everywhere from The New York Times to CBS's Early Show to Live with Regis and Kelly. New York magazine just devoted four pages to the best meatballs in town, and of course, The Meatball Shop came in at the top of the heap.

This cookbook offers 80-90 recipes and 25 appetizing color photos for more than twenty different types of meatball recipes (including some easy enough to make with the kids), dozens of delectable side dishes (both starchy and vegetable), salads, and a few signature desserts to round out the menu.

Traditional Bolognese balls, spicy meatballs, Greek lamb balls, barbecue balls, spicy buffalo balls, jambalaya balls--there's a meatball for everyone in this fun and accessible cookbook that capitalizes on the nostalgic food trend that's taken New York, and soon everywhere else, by storm.
