You prefer modern fusion or creative reinterpretations of Italian food.
You need extensive dietary modifications, as the book centres on traditional preparation.

About this book

The Italian Family Kitchen presents 100 authentic Italian home recipes passed down through generations. Based on content from the popular YouTube channel Pasta Grammar, the book combines traditional recipes with context about Italian culinary traditions. The collection includes straightforward recipes organized by course: Fritti (fried appetizers and street food), Bread and Pizza, Ragù, Pasta, Riso (rice), Secondo (second courses), Contorno (side dishes), and Dolce (desserts). The book also covers basic techniques for making fresh egg and semolina pastas, potato gnocchi, simple tomato sauce, and besciamel. Beyond recipes, the book offers practical guidance on sourcing ingredients, finding substitutes, acquiring Italian kitchen skills, and assembling meals that fit your lifestyle. It includes information on stocking an Italian kitchen and features photography throughout. The recipes represent dishes from across Italy, presented as they would be experienced in an Italian family kitchen.
