Containing over 100 mouthwatering recipes, this exceptional book goes beyond the cliches to reveal authentic Italian food, as cooked by real Italians. It includes an intriguing combination of classic dishes and ingredients as well as others showcasing the changes in style and influences that have become a part of the Italy of today.
