The grand tradition of fine Italian food has been handed down through centuries from mother to daughter, cook to cook, and often through old cookbooks. Each dish offers a subtle blend of earthy and sophisticated flavors, achieved through simple cooking with the best-quality fresh ingredients, without complicated techniques or sauces.
Because fresh ingredients are central to this cooking, the book is divided into seasons. Most menus are organized so that nearly everything can be prepared in advance. There are also extensive notes on ingredients.
There are several menus for parties, as well as Christmas, Easter, and other festive occasions. The desserts include chocolate-almond torte, homemade ice creams and ices, and almond shortbread.
