Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "the queen of Italian cooking," Marcella Hazan makes her recipes accessible to all in this thirtieth-anniversary edition cookbook. With nearly 700 pages of mouth-watering meals, divided into predictably Italian sections like gnocchi, frittate, and veal (you can find specific dishes organized in the book's index), each recipe includes the dish's historical background, preparation tips, and succinct steps. So, whether you're cooking Gamberetti all'Olio e Limone or Pizza Rustica, you'll never feel alone in the kitchen! Buon appetito! (RR)
