Tanya Bastianich Manuali

Lydia Bastianich has made a career out of interpreting Italian food for Americans. This cookbook, companion to a television show, explores how Italian food was recreated and changed in the United States. Scattered among the recipes are two- or three-page sections that talk about specific Italian-American enclaves in various cities across the US, as well as focusing on specific dishes. The recipes all look delicious, although holiday cooking has prevented me from trying anything more than the chicken tetrazzini, although I made it with leftover turkey instead of chicken.

If you're a fan of Italian food, as I am, then don't miss this cookbook.… (más)
