Here is a tantalizing array of glorious dishes, the same kind of authentic Italian cooking that Marcella Hazan brought to American cooks in her widely praised and best-selling The Classic Italian Cook Book. Here are som 220 entirely new recipes-fresh, uncomplicated and utterly delicious-liberally seasoned with Marcella Hazan's beguiling talk about the joys of Italian eating and the sound principles of Italian Cooking.
Many a dinner will take no more than thirty minutes to prepare. Countless dishes, like earthy soups, stews, fricassees, can simmer untended on the back of the stove. Fresh ingredients are used in inventive rather than extravagant ways. For this is the home cooking of Italy-relaxed, spontaneous, and always full of flavor.
A few of the special treasure you will find in this book include... -"Everyday" chicken and less meat cuts, delectably cooked: from a whole chicken exquisitely roasted with lemons to a fryer fricasseed with red cabbage; from succulent spareribs pan-roasted in white whine and sage to a rosemary-scented breast of veal, cooked slowly in its own juices. -Fragrant cooking from the Riviera: unusual combinations of fish, fresh herbs, and vegetables (sea bass with finocchio, pan-roasted porgies with marjoram, stuffed squid with wild mushrooms). -Intriguing new sauces for pasta, such as an eggplant and ricotta sauce for spaghetti; a cauliflower, garlic and anchovy sauce for penne; one of roasted sweet peppers and basil for rigatoni. An illustrated chart describes each pasta shape and the reasons the different shapes are sauced in different ways. -Unusual buffet dishes (for singled-course meals) such as chilled tuna and spinach mold, asparagus and prosciutto bundles, a timbale of mushrooms, and escarole pie. -Pizzas: as crisp as the Neapolitan originals, with a variety of flavorful fillings. -An expanded and revised section on making fresh pasta at home, with more new ways to dress and stuff your creation.

If I could only own one Italian cookbook...,

This review is from: More Classic Italian Cooking (Mass Market Paperback)
...it would certainly be one by Marcella Hazan, and quite possibly this particular title. This book is not only full of classic recipes, but information on the importance of using the right ingredients, care in preparation, and all of the details to make a recipe come out just right. I use this cookbook almost weekly, for these are recipes that do not require endless preparation time nor long lists of ingredients; these are practical, traditional Italian recipes that anyone can prepare with a little care and attention to the details.
Some of my favorites are the Pan-Roasted Porgies with Marjoram and Lemon; Swordfish with Salmoriglio Sauce; Thin Spaghetti with Scallops; Veal Scaloppine Sauced with Anchovies and Capers. If you are looking for a good introduction to Italian cooking beyond red gravy pasta and meatballs, this book would be an excellent choice.

This review is from: More Classic Italian Cooking (Hardcover)
It is an absolute love affair between this book and myself. As I am in the process of learning how to cook and learning to like to cook, I fell instantly in love with this book. The recipe lists are short and the directions are to the point. The flavors here are so wonderful. Easy for a novice to make and wonderful for everyone to enjoy. I do.... Enjoy!
