Notes about this book

  • Breadcrumbs on August 26, 2012

    I'm so glad I pulled this book off the shelf, what a delightful and enticing selection of recipes. Thankfully it's not a huge book because there's absolutely nothing I don't want to make. No kidding, every dish appeals! A headnote accompanies every recipe. Font size is good and layout makes for easy reading. I look forward to cooking my way through this book.

  • Marcella's potatoes

      Susbtitute oregano with freshly picked Bay Leaf, very tasty.

  • Bruschetta with chickpea pâté and barbecued tomatoes

    • Breadcrumbs on September 07, 2014

      Spring 2014 - I made this dish before tomato season so instead of outdoor tomatoes grilled I used hothouse grown Campari tomatoes and roasted them. The sweetness of the tomatoes was wonderful with the slight tang of the lemon/chickpea mixture. This was a real hit with our guests and mr bc as well. I'd definitely make it again.

Fast food has its place, but there's nothing that people enjoy more than passing a few hours enjoying a leisurely meal with family and friends. A table laden with delicious food made from wonderful ingredients, fine wine and great company. Nobody does this better than the Italians. This collection of more than 70 recipes brings together everything that is loved about Italian cooking - hearty soups, moreish starters, classic pasta dishes, risottos, polenta, fish, meat, flavoursome vegetables and salads and, of course, irresistible desserts. Good ingredients are at the heart of Italian cooking and a detailed section at the beginning of the book deals with buying, storing, preparing and cooking them. There are also menu suggestions for many occasions, from an outdoor picnic to a lavish celebratory dinner. Whatever the weather outside, this book will bring the warmth and spirit of Italy to the dining table.
