 Few understand how to cook great Italian food in America like Giuliano Hazan. A master teacher in his own right -- Giuliano is the son of the authority on Italian cooking, Marcella Hazan -- he knows exactly what home cooks want and need: delicious, easy, and often quick-to- prepare authentic Italian meals made with readily available ingredients. How to Cook Italian is Hazan's masterwork, the culmination of twenty years of teaching experience, and a perfect follow-up to his previous two highly successful books, Every Night Italian and The Classic Pasta Cookbook. Hazan covers the basics of Italian cooking, including perfectly cooking pasta, sautèing vegetables, making quick pan sauces, and braising meats until they are fork tender. He guides you every step of the way -- from what you need (usually just a sautè pan and a pot) and what you don't (expensive, fancy equipment) to how to shop and stock the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer for easy, fantastic meals throughout the week. Over 225 clear and concise recipes reflect the way Americans grocery-shop, cook, and eat. Preparation time and total time from start to finish are listed for each dish. Recipes cover all aspects of the meal, from appetizers and buffet items to soups, pastas, risottos, entrees, vegetables, salads, and desserts. "Giuliano Hazan is as American as apple pie, and at the same time he's as Italian as "torta di mele." This unique position makes him the perfect person to explain to Americans how Italians eat - why food and dining are so wonderful in Italy, and how we can recreate the experience here in the United States. Hooray! (Or should I say "ale!?)" --Jenifer Lang, Cafe des Artistes, New York Hardcover 448 pages - 6" x 9" - (10/05)
