Product Description

This divine cookbook includes 170 recipes for favorite Italian desserts--simple sweets served both at home and in trattorias and cafes throughout Italy. More than two dozen cookie recipes include almond-laced Biscotti di Prato, the classic sesame cookie Biscotti Regina, and lemony butter rings. Flaky tarts are filled with everything from fruit jams and Arborio rice to sweet berries and lemon and chocolate. Refreshing, delicate Italian ice are intensely flavored with mint, sparkling white wine and peaches, and raspberries.

To round out this scrumptious collection, Michele Scicolone has included recipes for simple fruit and cheese desserts, dessert sauces, explanations of Italian dessert wines and after dinner digestivi--and, of course, how to brew a perfect cup of Italian coffee. This irresistible cookbook is sure to delight everyone, even those with the most discerning sweet tooth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delicious introduction to Italian desserts., August 5, 2002
By glouise (Upstate New York United States) - See all my reviews
This was the first book I bought on Italian Desserts (the hard cover edition)and it is the one I reach for more often than not.
Although not a huge book, I feel the author has done an amazing job of giving a tour of Italian desserts. Along with covering everything from cakes, cookies, tarts, frozen dessert, fruit, cheese and dessert wines to name a few chapters, Michele Scicolone as an author is a joy to read. Each recipe has an introduction, nothing to time consuming to read. She may tell of the origin of a dessert or about the people whose recipe she is using or a helpful hint when preparing the dessert. Throught out the book you will find tips and hints that are like being in the kitchen with someone standing by to answer questions as they pop up. Each recipe I have used has been a great success and has not needed any alterations to make it "work." Basically La Dolce Vita is a book with clear and concise directions given in the warm hearted tone of friend sharing a recipe.
