Trattoria Cooking: More than 200 authentic recipes from Italy's family-style restaurants
Caggiano is the chef/owner of a restaurant in Sacramento, California, as well as author of two previous books on Italian cooking. Her latest work is a collection of recipes from trattorias all over Italy as well as trattoria-style recipes of her own devising: simple, authentic food like Tagliatelle with Prosciutto and Peas. Although some of the recipes are good versions of standards, there are many regional dishes that will be less familiar to Americans. Caggiano loves good food and writes with enthusiasm. She also includes thoughtful wine suggestions as well as tips and "notes of interest" on ingredients, techniques, and variations. Recommended.
