North End Italian Cookbook, Fifth Edition

Can anyone ever get enough of the delicious repetitions of Italian cuisine...the pastas, the tomatoes, the cheeses, the herbs, and the olive oil? Judging from the never ending popularity of this cuisine, the answer must be no. In The North End Italian Cookbook, Marguerite DiMino Buonopane has revised every treasured recipe from earlier editions of this book (which sold 135, 000 copies), and added new tried-and-true favorites. Many are family recipes, cooked the way her mother and grandparents used to cook. Using these recipes as guides, readers can incorporate over time a style of their own, one that suits their family's tastes. And with this book, they willbe guided every step of the way in the art of cooking Italian. It's as if they were taking a cooking class in which they are the only students. Classic Italian dishes include: Caponata, Zuppa di Venerdi Santo (Good Friday Soup), Farina Dumplings, Marinara Sauce, Frittata di Spaghetti, Manicotti, Veal Scaloppine, Beef Braciole in Tomato Sauce, Calamari Freddo, Gelato, Baked Stuffed Figs, and many more.
