Sources of Equipment and Ingredients

Though few unusual pieces of equipment are called for in the recipes, you may wish to purchase pans, molds, or tools for particular preparations. Local restaurant-supply stores carry heavy-duty equipment that may be more expensive, but is more durable, than lighter-weight domestic cookware and baking pans. Failing that, a great many excellent pans, molds, and tools are available in department and hardware stores.

For imported Italian food products, grocery stores in Italian neighborhoods usually carry a full line of ingredients necessary for the recipes.
