It's the food of her heart and soul--the dishes that bring back warm memories of her Italian-American childhood and her many trips to Italy. Now, in this gorgeous little cookbook, Lucinda shares fifty-two of her favorite recipes for homey Italian food. Accompanied by lush color photographs and Lucinda's engaging notes and reminiscences, these dishes are easy to make, beautiful to look at, and delicious to eat. Many are family recipes that Quinn has lovingly preserved, while others were inspired by her visits to Italy. Open the book, and you'll find tasty, simple-to-prepare versions of all your Italian favorites, as well as some more unusual and equally tasty dishes. There are appetizers such as Bruschetta Pomodoro and Miniature Meatball Panini, pastas like Linguine with Clams (Lucinda's favorite) and Rigatoni with Rapid Ragu, and soups such as Stracciatella ("rag soup," Lucinda's childhood comfort food). You'll also find Pizza Margarita and Polenta, main dishes such as Chicken Milanese and Beef Brocciole, and desserts like Espresso Granita and Zabaglione with Fresh Peaches and Raspberries. If you want to see just how easy it is to prepare crowd-pleasing everyday Italian meals, let Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen be your guide. |
