We're not talking spaghetti and meatballs here--Hazan's cuisine consists of polenta, risotto, squid braised with tomatoes and white wine, sautéed swiss chard with olive oil and garlic.... Twenty years ago, when Hazan first exploded into the American consciousness with <I>The Classic Italian Cook Book</I> and <I>More Classic Italian Cooking</I>, such recipes were revolutionary. With time, however, these classic dishes have become much-beloved family favorites. <p> Now a new generation is ready to be introduced to Marcella Hazan's way with food, and in <I>Essentials of Italian Cooking</I> Hazan combines her two earlier works into one update and expanded volume. In addition to the delicious collection of recipes, this book serves as a basic manual for cooks of every skill level. Recipes have been revised to reduce fat content, and a whole new chapter full of fundamental information about herbs, spices, and cheeses used in Italian kitchens--as well as details on how to select specific ingredients--has been added. New chapters, new recipes--who could ask for more than <I>Essentials of Italian Cooking</I>? 20777 27 10 1992 Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking total:236|5:151|4:66|3:18|2:1|1:0| 236 1075 344 50 5 1 false false Sat May 24 18:36:58 -0700 2008 Sat May 24 18:37:17 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Tue Sep 11 21:52:20 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 11 23:14:15 -0700 2007
At the time I bought it, I was living in London with an italian man who was homesick and dreaming of mama's cooking back in Venice. I felt like the author, Signora Hazan, was my own private teacher and my live-in guinea pig definitely approved of the risotto (one of...more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Sep 15 12:25:53 -0700 2009 Sun Jan 04 19:33:05 -0800 2009 Tue Sep 15 12:25:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sun Jul 27 22:46:51 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 27 22:56:47 -0700 2008
