Mastering the Art of Traditional Home Cooking

By Mr. Paul A. Capobianco

This book is intended to be a guide for the home cook who is looking for new interpretations of standard classic recipes as well as the home cooking enthusiast interested in recipes for dishes that are traditionally left in the realm of restaurants. The emphasis is on flavor, keeping in mind that easy and straightforward preparation without sacrificing quality is essential to good home cooking. A wide variety of cuisines are represented in this book. Standard American classics are covered in detail as well as traditional recipes from French, Italian and Mexican cuisine. A number of recipes from East Indian and some Asian cuisines are also included. The material in this edition is formatted in such a way so as to be most useful as a reference work. There are seventeen individual sections within the book, e.g. Appetizers, Chicken & Poultry, Sauces and so on. Each recipe has one entry in the alphabetical index at the end of the book. I plan to put together an edition of this book in the near future with a subset of the recipes in this edition, grouped into menus by season. This work was inspired by my parents to whom I offer my sincere thanks for their support and guidance throughout this project. They have been, and continue to be, a tremendous inspiration to me.
