CELEBRATE ITALIAN COOKING with this authoritative and engaging
tribute. Author Michele Scicolone offers simple recipes for
delicious classics such as lasagne, minestrone, chicken cutlets,
and gelato, plus many more of your favorites; a wealth of modern
dishes, such as grilled scallop salad; and a traveler's odyssey of
regional specialties from the northern hills of Piedmont to the
sun-drenched islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Whether giving expert
advice on making a frittata or risotto, selecting Italian
ingredients, or pairing Italian wines with food, Scicolone enlivens
each page with rich details of Italian food traditions. This book
is a treasury to turn to for any occasion.

cookbook to hit the shelves in years. Her recipes are accessible
and beautifully written, and the result is a masterpiece of
traditional and nontraditional Italian cookery. This tome is pure
inspiration."

(New York), and host of Food Network's Molto Mario
"The broad range of recipes and wealth of information on Italian
food found in 1,000 Italian Recipes confirms why Michele Scicolone
was the only chef we would go to when we wanted to do our Sopranos
Family Cookbook."
-David Chase, Creator/Executive Producer,The Sopranos
"A must-have for any serious Italian cook."

outstanding cookbookReviewed by Richard Morrow, 2009-12-24
This is what must be one of the best cookbooks ever written.It is well organized, the recipes are easy to follow and each recipe has a short note saying where it's from- relative or restaurant. This the best cookbook I have ever used and that includes Julia Child. I cannot say enough good things about this book. I use it more than any other cookbook I have.
Unexpected SurpriseReviewed by Anthony Ingrisano, 2009-10-08
I was more than pleasantly surprised with the contents of Michele
Scicolone's 1000 Italian Recipes. I have hundreds of cookbooks and
was chastising myself for purchasing yet another, but I couldn't
resist.
The recipes in this book are really authentic and every recipe I
have tried so far has turned out well. I heartily recommend this
book to all serious cooks. Yeah, I know, "another" cookbook! LOL
You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Solid and creativeReviewed by H. Lindley, 2009-06-13
I have been cooking for over 45 years, have a collection of over 100 cookbooks in 3 languages, and find myself coming back to this one. Not flashy, no pictures, but solid and very dependable. This book has encouraged me to try wonderful combinations I never would have tried on my own. The key to making every recipe a hit is to try it her way exactly (at least once), use the best quality ingredients, share with friends if you can.
Great add-on for your cookbook collectionReviewed by Pouterson, 2008-08-23
