In her hit Food Network show Everyday Italian, Giada De
Laurentiis shows you how to cook delicious, beautiful food
in a flash. And here, in her long-awaited first book, she
does the same—helps you put a fabulous dinner on the table
tonight, for friends or just for the kids, with a minimum
of fuss and a maximum of flavor. She makes it all look
easy, because it is.
Everyday Italian is true to its title: the fresh, simple
recipes are incredibly quick and accessible, and also
utterly mouth-watering—perfect for everyday cooking. And
the book is focused on the real-life considerations of what
you actually have in your refrigerator and pantry (no mail-
order ingredients here) and what you’re in the mood for—
whether a simply sauced pasta or a hearty family-friendly
roast, these great recipes cover every contingency. So, for
example, you’ll find dishes that you can make solely from
pantry ingredients, or those that transform lowly leftovers
into exquisite entrées (including brilliant ideas for
leftover pasta), and those that satisfy your yearning to
have something sweet baking in the oven. There are 7 ways
to make red sauce more interesting, 6 different
preparations of the classic cutlet, 5 perfect pestos, 4
creative uses for prosciutto, 3 variations on basic
polenta, 2 great steaks, and 1 sublime chocolate tiramisù—
plus 100 other recipes that turn everyday ingredients into
speedy but special dinners.
What’s more, Everyday Italian is organized according to
what type of food you want tonight—whether a soul-warming
stew for Sunday supper, a quick sauté for a weeknight, or a
baked pasta for potluck. These categories will help you
figure out what to cook in an instant, with such choices as
fresh-from-the-pantry appetizers, sauceless pastas,
everyday roasts, and stuffed vegetables—whatever you’re in
the mood for, you’ll be able to find a simple, delicious
recipe for it here. That’s the beauty of Italian home
cooking, and that’s what Giada De Laurentiis offers here—
the essential recipes to make a great Italian dinner.
Tonight.
