Hardcover. NY, Clarkson Potter, 1st, 2024, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover in pictorial boards, 287 pages, color plates. 120 go-to Italian American favorites for all the red-sauced, pan-fried, crispy-cornered, baked-until-bubbly comforting classics youll want to eat every night. Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli may be a French-trained chef, an Iron Chef, and a short-order-chef to her daughter, Ava, but at her core, she is an Italian American home cook. Her moms heritage was Sicilian and her dads people were from Bari; she pledged allegiance to her fathers marinara on weekdays and to her moms on the weekend and grew up eating at many of the red-checked-tablecloth trattorias throughout New York City. She still stops in to chitchat with the shop owners in Little Italy, where she buys the milkiest fresh mozz, the most thinly sliced prosciutto, and the crunchiest biscotti. These are the recipes that are favorites for so many of us, whether your family is from Italy or not. Clean, bright copy.
