Product Description
Product Description
We cannot ever underestimate our debt to Italian cuisine - it is arguably the most delectable, the most influential, and the best-loved cuisine in the world. Quite apart from the perpetual presence of the best-known Italian exports in our lives - pasta, pizza and Parmesan cheese, to name but a few - so many things we eat have their roots in Italian cuisine. Ursula Ferrigno learnt to prepare traditional Italian dishes from her grandmother at an early age. This books contains 120 of her favourite, authentic Italian recipes based on readily available ingredients that are easily prepared by the home cook. Easy Italian begins with an introduction to some of the key components of the Italian storecupboard. The chapters that follow cover Antipasti, Soups, Breads and Pizza, Pasta, Polenta and Rice, Fish and Shellfish, Poultry and Meat, Vegetables and Salad, and Desserts. Packed with Ursula's characteristically simple yet flavourful recipes, ranging from Spinach, Olive and Onion Pesto and White Fish baked in Tomato Sauce with Caponata, and Chocolate Coated Figs, this book is a must for the enthusiastic home cook.

Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent introduction to italian cooking. In the front their is a brief chapter on the basics of the italian store cupboard i.e. which olive oil to use for which dish, which herbs are best dried or fresh, different types of pasta for different dishes. (Fortunately the italian store cupboard does not require tonnes of different ingredients you might never use again). The recipes seem to be authentic and everything is done as it would be in Italy. All the recipes are in four to five steps. Details are given about how many people they serve. The index is clear. The book had a durable wipe clean cover. The book is illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs of each recipe. Although the recipes are easy, unfortunately some aren't always that quick. The recipes are straightforward and taste delicious. This is one of my favourite cookbooks. I would highly recommend it. It has plenty to offer vegetarians too.
Format:Paperback
This book is great for anyone who is just dipping their toes into cooking and wants to conjure up some delicious Italian meals. Ursula's books never fail to deliver.
