Let me just say you will be amazed at the recipe's that are in this book. I know I was. Remember Mom's cooking and Grandma's cooking? How you begged them for the recipe and how they would never give the recipes or omit some of the ingredients so it would never quite taste the same? How many of those recipes have gone to the grave with them? Well they are in this book and you can enjoy them again and again!

I found this book under the title of the North End Union Italian Cookbook. This is the revised version. I am of Italian heritage, and found the recipes to be just like my nonna and mother made. The recipes are easy, delicious, andd truly Italian. A must for anyone wanting to cook traditional Italian food from antipasto to biscotti.

I hesitated to order since I have so many Italian cookbooks. This is a must have! Growing up in NY lots of recipes in here you loved especially from your Italian grandparents & didn't know what went in it or forgot about until you see the recipes.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! I'm half Italian and I grew up outside of Boston. My Dad stumbled across this book and I had to buy him a new one. I stole his original copy and it's covered w/ splotches from all of the good things I've cooked. The recipes are authentic and very easy to make. I'd recommend it to anyone.

What a delight, finding a cookbook with everything my mother cooked but I didn't ask for the how to's. I've tried many many of these recipes and they were great. My mom threw in a bit of this a pinch of that a palm.. of this other but I never wrote them down. Now I know quantities for many many of mom's dishes. Thanks Marguertie

These recipes are simple and concise. I am from Italian background on east coast. and many are just like the one's from Mom's . This is a go to book for me !

I bought this book in the first edition and have been recommending it ever since. The recipes are easy to follow, easy to make, and most important, delicious. I highly recommend it.

I know that Italian American cooking is out of style, but it still puts a smile on my families face. My brothers, our wives and children rave when I cook Ma's food. But I have a secret, I don't cook Ma's food. She was unfortunately, gone before I got her recipes. I cook Marguerite's food. I bought this book in the late 80's and it fell apart from love. This book will bring back memories or make them, five stars.

Reminded me of the recipes my grandmother use to make while growing up in New England. Many traditional italian recipes. Was given to me as a gift and I will purchase several as gifts as well. Will there another? Thank you.

perfect, easy, real Italian. Recipes are no fail. When I lived in the North end in the 90's (pre nouveau) everything tasted this good. But be careful, the Pignoli cookie recipe calls for 1 pound of pine nuts, (thats like $25!) You only really need 5 oz or so. Must be a misprint.
