Nick Stellino's Glorious Italian Cooking
How many Italian cookbooks do you really need? But in fact this one is different enough from the dozens of current titles that it will win you over. Stellino is the host of a popular PBS series, "Cucina Amore," and this is the second volume to come out of that show. He grew up in Palermo, so there is a definite Sicilian influence in many of his recipes. He includes his versions of a few classics, but most of these dishes, which come from other regions of Italy as well, are more unusual. There are menu and wine suggestions for most recipes and nostalgia-filled sidebars that sometimes turn sentimental. (The music mentioned in the subtitle is a free CD buyers of the book can order.) Recommended for most collections.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
