Featuring dozens of colorful and flavor-filled Italian recipes, this cookbook, developed by a master chef, was designed with the everyday home cook in mind. Each dish is cooked in a single pot--either a saucepan, skillet, or soup kettle--making this reference accessible for amateur chefs and handy for more advanced cooks who don’t have a lot of time to prepare. Woven among the ingredients and directions are stories from the author’s childhood in Italy, which share his personal connection with each dish. With braises, soups, risottos, pastas, salads, and desserts, this is the ultimate resource for Italian one-pot cooking.
