"Knockout dining" leaves fans breathless at this Gramercy New American "paragon" where "rock star" chef Rocco DiSpirito produces "sublime," "synergistic" dishes. -- Zagat, on Rocco DiSpirito's restaurant Union Pacific He runs one of the most successful restaurants in New York City. He is seen everywhere from David Letterman to Good Morning America to the Food Network.

The cuisine is sophisticated but surprisingly easy for home chefs to replicate.

Some recipes included in Flavor are:

• Lemongrass Lobster Salad

• Calamari with Coconut Curry and Green Papaya
• Braised Veal Roulade with Root Vegetables
