SheΓ’β¬β’s taught us every facet of Italian cookingΓ’β¬βfrom traditional and regional to seasonal and contemporary. She even made us fall in love with pasta again by opening us up to lighter, healthier versions that donΓ’β¬β’t weigh us down. Now the Food Network star and bestselling author of Everyday Pasta, Giada De Laurentiis, takes us down a new path, sharing her love of food with clean, vibrant, simple flavors and bursts of bright colors that look as beautiful on the plate as they are delicious.
Yes, you will still find those fabulous recipes she remembers so fondly from family meals, but youΓ’β¬β’ll also find updated twists on classic trattoria favoritesΓ’β¬βCalifornia-inflected, hearty but not overwhelming, and with the perfect balance of healthfulness and terrific flavor. WouldnΓ’β¬β’t you love a faster, lighter take on osso buco (here made with turkey instead of veal), a salad with real substance (like one of cantaloupe, red onion, and walnuts), and fish that gets an Italian makeover by way of lots of fresh veggies and accents such as fennel and grapefruit salsa? And letΓ’β¬β’s not forget dessert. After all, whatΓ’β¬β’s not to adore about little doughnuts dipped in chocolate sauce?

Anyone who wants to indulge in the pleasures of Italian food without feeling weighed down will find inspiration for delicious, hearty yet healthy weekday meals.
