Eat Spaghetti and Still Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans

To many of us, "diet" is a four-letter word. And rightfully so. Starving yourself thin or keeping track of each bite like pennies in your checkbook is no way to live. So what's a girl with skinny jean dreams supposed to do?

Teresa Giudice has the answer. In fact, she was born with it. The first-generation Italian-American mom of four and svelte star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey credits her knockout figure to her Old World upbringing. And now, in her fun, encouraging, and budget-friendly cookbook, she skewers the myth that looking fabulous has to be a chore.

In Skinny Italian, she reveals how to: substitute tedious meal plans with simple, flavorful recipes; choose fresh, flavorful ingredients instead of counting calories; slow down and enjoy a faster metabolism; replace starvation with celebration by adopting an Italian attitude to cooking, eating, and entertaining; love food, love eating, and still love your body afterward!

Teresa shows how anyone can master the cornerstones of Italian cuisine. Learn how to make six different tomato sauces from scratch, how to choose and use the right olive oil, and how to prepare over sixty Giudice family recipes straight from Salerno. From Gorgeous Garlic Shrimp to Beautiful Biscotti, you'll want to make these sumptuous recipes again and again. Discover how easy and economical wholesome, homemade cooking can be.

Skinny Italian is not a diet book. It's an "eat it and enjoy it" book. Join Teresa and discover how gorgeous can be a sumptuous side effect to living la bella vita.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Giudice, famous for table flipping and gushing over her juicy husband, Joe, on Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey, offers a simple rundown of Italian standards like pesto and puttanesca sauces, veal piccata, steak pizzaiola, almond biscotti and the classic bellini in her authentic yet dishy look into food and family. Few recipes will surprise the seasoned Italian cook, though Giudice gets points for keeping dishes rather healthy while boosting flavor with fresh herbs, pungent garlic, and hot pepper. Coupled with family photos and sidebar comments about their friends and favorite dishes from Teresa and Joe, the book plays well to a younger, hipper home cook. With a focus on steering clear of reputation-ruining no-nos like jarred sauce and rinsing cooked pasta, Giudice dives into some deeper waters with coaching on making pizza dough and canning tomatoes. Though she tries a little too hard to make everything salacious, gorgeous, and fabulous, useful tips abound (the section on olive oil is titled OO, VOO, EVOO, WTF?). Take away the overblown catch phrases and effusive references to her mama, The Sopranos, and the motherland, and you're left with a solid mid-week Italian cookbook. Then again, perhaps it's the chatty Teresa and her feisty yet playful anecdotes that make this an irresistible, guilty pleasure. (May)

Authentic Italian Recipes!

November 23, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

All of Teresa's cookbooks feature true Italian recipes. What I loved most about this book was the sauce canning event. Not only did she give a great family sauce recipe but she also showed you how to make a years worth of sauce.

The Cup

Needs Tweaking

June 19, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Ok, so I know Teresa is going thru some hard stuff. I'm not here to bash her. I actually am a fan of her show AND own all her cookbooks. I bought the rest of them simply because I was hoping they would ALL throw as much shade as her "family" cookbook!! That one was serving the most tea!!

So, as for "Skinny Italian," it needs tweaking. I loved her Farfalle con Piselli," but the sauce was lacking volume. I personally double (even triple) the amount of sauce she uses for the actual pasta part of the dish.
However, I really liked this cookbook. The recipes I've made for my family have all been enjoyed, even if some need tweaking. I love love love her Salerno stuffed mushrooms. Its nice to find a stuffed mushroom recipe w/out meat in it. And her cannolli cupcake are next on my list to try!! Also, my family has enjoyed her steak pizzaola, veal piccatta, and flounder dish, among others...

Teresa may have strange views on eating and cooking methods, but this cookbook DID serve a purpose for me, personally.
Afterthought: I could have also done without the Danielle Staub bashing. Especially since she's a mother of two teen-aged girls. Highly inappropriate for a fellow mother. And her and Danielle have made amends since then. And for someone who bashed her cousin Kathy Wakile for making a parsley salad ("it's too grassy") she sure does use parsley a lot!!! She uses it in almost every savory recipe. She claims Italians LOVE parsley!! LMAO!

But, I digress.... If you like novelty cookbooks (like I do) you will get some use out of this one.

Very good book. Very good information on how to buy olive oil, pasta quality, myths about fattening foods,etc. Just not very many recipes. More of a good how-to book.

Love the recipes in this book& the style in which the chapters are written. I have gotten a lot of use iut of my copy over the last 6.5 years! However, if she ever reissues her books, she might want to consider having them spiral bound - the pages in the sauce section are starting to fall out of mine. This is the reason why I’m not giving it 5 stars.
