The Real Housewives of New Jersey are a feisty bunch of women. From explosive dinner parties to scandalous affairs revealed from secret pasts, these ladies sure know how to make a scene. Teresa Giudice is in the spotlight again, but this time instead of flipping tables, she's whipping up some culinary delights in her delectable new book entitled SKINNY ITALIAN.
Not only does she share some of her family's most treasured recipes, but also she offers up some helpful tips and sage advice on how to stay in shape while living a fulfilling life. The mother of four beautiful young girls, Teresa puts emphasis on providing a loving home filled with good food and healthy meal choices. Even her hunky husband Joe chimes in by sharing his two cents on the art of Italian cooking.
With over sixty recipes such as Tempting Tomato and Oregano Soup to Old World Pizza Dough, Teresa lets the reader in on some well-kept family secrets. Her educational vignettes such as the nutritional value of olive oil and the importance of using fresh herbs versus dried bring a touch of valuable know-how to the book. Of course, her advice to stay away from food that also is a stripper's name (i.e. cookies, candy, and cupcakes) brings out her quirky sense of humor that we all have come to love.
Unlike the typical cookbook/wellness books featured in bookstores today, SKINNY ITALIAN dishes up the perfect blend of good taste with a dash of sugar as well as some zesty spice.
Eat Spaghetti and Still Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans
To many of us, "diet" is a four-letter word. And
rightfully so. Starving yourself thin or keeping track of
each bite like pennies in your checkbook is no way to live.
So what's a girl with skinny jean dreams supposed to do?
Teresa Giudice has the answer. In fact, she was
born with it. The first-generation
Italian-American mom of four and svelte star of The Real
Housewives of New Jersey credits her knockout figure to
her Old World upbringing. And now, in her fun, encouraging,
and budget-friendly cookbook, she skewers the myth
that looking fabulous has to be a chore.
In Skinny
Italian, she reveals how to:
- substitute
tedious meal plans with simple, flavorful recipes
- choose fresh, flavorful ingredients instead of counting
calories
- slow down and enjoy a faster
metabolism
- replace starvation with celebration by
adopting an Italian attitude to cooking, eating, and
entertaining
- love food, love eating, and still
love your body afterward
Teresa shows
how anyone can master the cornerstones of Italian cuisine.
Learn how to make six different tomato sauces from scratch,
how to choose and use the right olive oil, and how to
prepare over sixty Giudice family recipes straight from
Salerno. From Gorgeous Garlic Shrimp to Beautiful Biscotti,

Discover how easy and economical wholesome, homemade cooking
can be.
