    This book is cited many times by other well-known writers, of Italian food, of Jewish culture, and for just plain wonderful food. Recipes are straightforward and easy to follow. Excellent!

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spinach "heads" (Testine di spinaci)

    • mcvl on March 02, 2023

      Tasty and piquant -- I made a little side dish of testine on one side of the bowl, roasted shallots on the other. It took forever, and many, many changes of water, to get them clean. I think it might be easier to clean the whole spinach head, including the testina, before cutting the testina away, but that didn't occur to me till later, so I can't report on whether it's effective.

  • Bean salad (Fagioli conditi)

    • Yildiz100 on August 26, 2021

      Super delicious. Rub a fresh sage leaf in the olive oil dressing if the flavour needs a boost.

  • Mother's tomato sauce (Salsa di pomodoro della mamma)

    • Yildiz100 on April 21, 2022

      Made the variation with a bit more garlic and a pinch of chili. Nice sauce. Reduce the salt to 3/4 tsp and add some extra fresh basil at the end. I slightly blended mine since I dont have a food mill, but plan on getting a food mill and making sauce as intended.
