Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a collection of recipes gathered from individuals in Italian communities from New York to San Francisco: dishes brought over from Italy and retained in family traditions. While some adaptation for local ingredients has been worked, these nevertheless remain true to their creators and will delight any who long for the familiar dishes of 'the old country'. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A great cookbook with recipes that never let you down!, October 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Little Italy Cookbook (Paperback)
This is a terrific cookbook. Every recipe I have tried has been fantastic. Last night, I threw a dinner party and decided to add a soup to the menu. I was a little nervous because I hadn't tried it out before serving it to guests, but (just like every other recipe in this cookbook) it turned out to be fantastic. One thing to be aware of, however: While the recipes are fantastic, the directions are not always clear or complete. This cookbook is probably best suited to cooks that already have some experience in the kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars buon appetito!, October 7, 2006

This review is from: Little Italy Cookbook (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book from many perspectives.
1st, there's the recipes. Easy, fun, and essential Italian fare.
2nd, there's history and stories.

You might ask why have narratives and stories in a cookbook. Well, as any Italians reading this will attest, Italian culture is more than just eating. Eating is a celebration, tied closely with family, culture, and history. You cannot separate one from the other. The story on the history of bruchetta is as important as the recipe itself.

This book combines both aspects as is wonderful way for 2nd and 3rd generation Italian-Americans to appreciate and understand their roots.

Ciao!
