Her new title includes favorite recipes from her childhood: Italian American classics like Fettuccine alla Carbonara and Grilled Calamari. The book has the same attractive format as her first one, with color photographs of many of the dishes, but the recipes are very familiar, and most can be found in any Italian cookbook. For comprehensive subject collections. (\u003cem\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, March 15, 2007) In this small but tasty collection of Italian recipes, Quinn, host of the PBS series \u003cem\u003eEveryday Food\u003c\/em\u003e and author of \u003cem\u003eLucinda's Authentic Jamaican Kitchen\u003c\/em\u003e, draws on her travels and ancestral past for classic home-cooked dishes. In bringing rustic Italian food to the busy American table, Quinn cuts out several steps such as homemade stock and freshly rolled pasta (although she does include a recipe for pizza dough that can be topped with escarole and Gaeta olives or served Margherita-style). Technique is perhaps not as important as ingredients: Her \"Notes to the Cook section\" covers some basic territory such as how to control the flavor of garlic, the merits of salted capers and her secret dredging weapon, Wondra flour for gravy. Though selections like Carolina's Wine Taralli (cookies) and Tuna Gremolata Dip have a sophisticated flair, there are plenty of earthy, elemental pleasures, like Polpette (a meatball in Italian, but Quinn turns it into a meatloaf), which is baked with mortadella slivers and pistachios, and Tuscan kale sautéed with olive oil and seasoned only with salt and pepper. Along with plenty of color beauty shots by Quentin Bacon, Quinn's book demonstrates that even at its very humblest, Italian cooking yields extraordinary flavors. \u003cem\u003e(Apr.)\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e, February 19, 2007)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44890048561381,"sku":"NP9780544464018","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780544464018.jpg?v=1730232443","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/lucindas-rustic-italian-kitchen-isbn-9780544464018","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
