Cooking will be well worth it if this ingredient can be found.
On my third copy and still love it!
This is a book that my kitchen cannot do without. Two copies have fallen apart in use since 1967 and one I presented to my daughter (she uses it all the time).
While many of the recipes are complicated they are based on the wonderful cuisine served at Mama Leone's Restaurant and are meticulously tested for home use. They are clearly written so they are worth making even if they seem difficult. The results always justify the work.
Today I am ordering my fourth copy. Viva Leone!
A Complete and Versatile Italian Cookbook
My mother has the 1967 edition of this cookbook and gave it to me when she could no longer cook. I never really looked at it until last year and from that point on, I use it almost every day. Not only are the recipes easy to prepare, but it offers up dishes I had never heard of before: Stracciatella, Bugie, and Salsa di Olio di Olive, Aglio e Acciughe per Spaghettini (our favorite). I am not of Italian descent so apart from spaghetti and meatballs and lasagne, I have "converted" through this wonderful cuisine. Another plus-side dishes and what wines to serve are often included in a lot of the recipes, making it easy to impress your friends and family at the dinner table. If you love Italian food, then buy this cookbook. You will not be sorry.
