With this exciting collection of 250 recipes ranging from antipasto to desserts, Michele brings to American tables the true flavors of simple Italian cooking. Melon Fritters. Salmon Carpaccio. Spaghetti with Rubies. Sicilian Seafood Couscous. Chicken with Vinegar and Hot Pepper. Capri Lemon Tart. Perfect Polenta. Fresh Tomato Sauce. Spinach Gnocchi. Traditional family favorites, contemporary dishes, and regional classics are easy for midweek family meals yet elegant enough for dinner parties. Names and addresses of her favorite restaurants, food festivals, and markets; information-packed sidebars on everything from choosing ingredients to step-by-step instructions for cooking pasta, risotto, and other classic dishes; and 16 pages of glorious color photographs make this the comprehensive Italian cookbook no cook, Italophile, or traveler should be without. Amazon.com Review: If you are looking for the recipe for the sublime spiced eggplant you sampled in Naples or the polenta topped with meltingly tender spare ribs you enjoyed in Rome, Michele Scicolone's A Fresh Taste of Italy may be the place to find it. This book is crammed with recipes you have not seen before, such as Spaghetti with Rubies, a tuna pesto, and Pork Loin Braised with Onions and Grapes. Scicolone collected these recipes during countless trips to Italy over 25 years. In addition, she provides an outstanding guide to ingredients and important advice on how to best duplicate the flavors of Italian food as it tastes in Italy. Steeped in knowledge, Scicolone shares information with the generosity of a natural teacher as she describes all the places where she and her husband have eaten in Italy. There is also good information on Italian wines. Related Items:

 Rating: - LOVE this book!!!I have had this since 1999, and I have only had time to "read" it. Until recently, my husband & I tried Frico and Mozarella Stuffed Cabbage. It was so good (and simple too!). I am now planning to pick up more recipes to cook for the rest of my family. Will have a party... - and they say I couldn't cook. Aside from the recipes, Michelle includes here travel experiences - her writing style sounds so true and sincere, just enjoy her stories. Buy this and enjoy the overall feel of this book. Rating:  - Everyone Who Loves Italian Food Should Have This One!As a collector of Italian cookbooks, I now count this one as one of my favorites. Michele Scicolone shares 250 wonderful recipes with very easy instructions, and adds a little extra note to each recipe. I hosted an Italian Buffet last year for 50 people, and used this book as my primary reference. The recipe for Frico (cheese wafers) and roasted Olives with Fennel and Lemon are so tasty, I serve them now with drinks everytime I entertain! This book offers a combination of both traditional Italian recipes, and those more contemporary with sometimes surprising ingredients. As the Italian Cooking Host @ Bella Online, and someone with over 150 Italian cookbooks in my collection, I would say this is definately a book to buy! My only regret is that there weren't more pictures as the ones included are so inspiring, it makes you want to run into the kitchen and start cooking. Rating: - There is a gustatory surprise on every pageSomeone gave me a few cookbooks -- (never do this to an experienced cook!) Every time I reached for this book to bring to a recycle center some new recipe caught my eye. It's deceptive. The sidebars tell the stories you need to hear about the recipes. A tuna pesto? Sounds dull, no? It is a superb dish. A spaghetti sauce with only beets? (The cover photo tells it all.) A lentil and clam stew? Lentils with CLAMS ??? It works. It works brilliantly. This is not a basic book. But it is a wonderful addition to any Italian food library. Rating: - You'll want to catch the next plane to Italy.A Fresh Taste of Italy is a marvelous resource for an array of recipes; terminology; history; and sources of ingredients. The author paints a glamourous picture of the great diversity that exists in Italian cuisine. If you purchase only one Italian cookbook...this is the one to get.
