This is an excellent book covering Italian food prepared as it would be in Italy. Italian food is quite simple and based on top-notch ingredients that speak for themselves,and this book covers such food in a simple and easy style. The ingredients are real and based on items that grow locally in Italy.You won't find any cilantro;strange chillies;Japanese mushrooms;non-Italian spices etc being thrown into these dishes just to make them different. This is as authentic as having an Italian grandma cook for you.
