Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)What a nice idea for a little Italian cookbook. What a marvelous way to get someone interested in Italian cooking. The book starts out with a short history of Lucca and then describes Lucca today and then Ms. Dinelli tells you about Lucca's festivals, holidays and traditions.
And then she gets right into it, telling you how to plan your party, how to invite your guests, plan your menu, gather your ingredients, set the table, cook the meal, entertain your guests, serve the meal and so much more.
And that so much more is the mouthwatering recipes that take up most of the book. From the very simple Prosciutto e Melone/Proscuitto e Fichi (Italian Ham with Sliced Melon or Fresh Figs) on page 20 to the kind of complicated Cacciucco (Fish Stew) on page 111, to the delicious Cenci (Fried Tuscan Pastries) on page 184 you'll find only tasty Italian fare.
You can't go wrong with this book. I just love it and am so glad I stumbled upon it. If you see it, snap it up, then host a Northern Italian Dinner Party. I've done it and Hubby Dub and I enjoyed the heck out of it.
