Italian home cooking

I have already tried one of the receipts and easy and fast and delicious. It is all I thought it would be and more. Season ingredients, easy, if you have a garden, there is something in there that is delicious. I am very happy to add it to my collection of cookbooks. Thank you

My all time favorite Italian Cookbook by far-forget about Batagli and all these new guys, this is th

This book is fun, the recipes are simple, classic, its like reading a great story with delicious recipes interspersed. This is the most authentic, simple Italian food I've found and I've ready many Italian cookbooks. Maybe not the big bible of Italian cooking but its definately a necessity and one you'll enjoy while reading it.

Magnificent!

I purchased this book several years ago in a quest for authentic recipes. As a first generation American (daughter of Italian immigrants from Northern Italy), I'd grown up eating mostly peasant-style foods at home, though my mother was quite a "gourmet" and excellent cook; it seemed that my father much preferred the simpler recipes from his hill town of Germasino with American variations. I found this book and was immediately riveted...the background information for the recipes and the authenticity appealed to me. I also own books by Julia Della Croce ... but THIS book is my favorite, and my family's, because of its simple and authentic fare. There isn't a week that goes by that I don't pull it off the shelf and "commune" with my ancestors through preparation of one of the dishes!
