Cookbooks
Lucinda Scala Quinn has been cooking professionally since
she was sixteen, but the food she loves best is simple,
home-style Italian cooking. It's the food of her heart and
soul-the dishes that bring back warm memories of her
Italian-American childhood and her many trips to Italy. Now, in this gorgeous little cookbook, Lucinda shares
fifty-two of her favorite recipes for homey Italian food.
Accompanied by lush color photographs and Lucinda's engaging
notes and reminiscences, these dishes are easy to make,
beautiful to look at, and delicious to eat. Many are family
recipes that Quinn has lovingly preserved, while others were
inspired by her visits to Italy. Open the book, and you'll find tasty, simple-to-prepare
versions of all your Italian favorites, as well as some more
unusual and equally tasty dishes. There are appetizers such
as Bruschetta Pomodoro and Miniature Meatball Panini, pastas
like Linguine with Clams (Lucinda's favorite) and Rigatoni
with Rapid Ragu, and soups such as Stracciatella ("rag
soup," Lucinda's childhood comfort food). You'll also find
Pizza Margarita and Polenta, main dishes such as Chicken
Milanese and Beef Brocciole, and desserts like Espresso
Granita and Zabaglione with Fresh Peaches and Raspberries. If you want to see just how easy it is to prepare
crowd-pleasing everyday Italian meals, let Lucinda's Rustic
Italian Kitchen be your guide.
