Notes about this book

  • MikeMcKay on March 04, 2025

    Well crafted and good recipes, but, as is often the case with ATK's cookbooks, if you have several, as I do, there is a LOT of duplication of recipes with their other books

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicago deep-dish pizza

    • Dcampos on February 04, 2024

      This is a family favorite recipe. I add additional toppings.

  • Penne alla vodka

    • BrendaD1962 on October 29, 2025

      This was SO good! Followed the recipe exactly. So much flavour. A favourite in our house.

  • Rao's lemon chicken

    • cameron_9ui0sv on May 19, 2026

      Delicious sauce and perfectly cooked chicken, both dark and white meat. Make sure you have some crusted bread on hand or you’ll be eating the sauce with a spoon, so good!

  • Garlicky broccolini

    • julesamomof2 on March 19, 2025

      This is perfect for when I need to free up oven space. It's so simple but delish, and minimizes dirty dishes. I have tried it with both broccolini and regular broccoli and both are great.

Publishers Text

An homage to the generous, gutsy, red-sauced family-style cooking born in Italian-American kitchens from coast to coast, with 130 tested-to-perfection recipes that bring the best of the best to your table.

Travel with Cook's Country and savor the homey comforts of Little Italy, an array of neighborhoods throughout the nation where Italian immigrants set down roots, and from those roots produced some of the best eating you'll find anywhere. To fill our Italian-American table, we tested, tasted, and adapted our way through countless takes on beloved fare to discover what makes each a knockout, from meaty lasagna to eggplant Parmesan. Along the way, we scoured the country to uncover less common (but no less delicious) dishes like Chicago's Chicken Scarpariello and Brooklyn's Prosciutto Bread, even coaxing some heirloom recipes from the families behind their landmark restaurants.

Italian-American cooking sparks fierce passions. Cooks may never agree on whether the best style of pizza come from New York, Detroit, or St. Louis (you'll find recipes for all three kinds in these pages). But we hope you'll all find a place on your table for our drop meatballs, which stay tender without falling apart, our ricotta gnocchi (finally, a foolproof method), and a make-ahead tiramisu that rivals any restaurant's. This is the food we never tire of--simple, hearty weeknight meals, baked pastas and roasts fit for Sunday dinner, and a baker's assortment of rustic breads and sweets.
