A five-part collection of Italian staples

Anna Del Conte gathers 75 Italian recipes around the traditional progression of a meal: antipasti, primi, secondi, contorni, and dolci. The selection moves from bruschetta, rosemary focaccia, and stuffed mussels to pasta, risotto, seafood, braised meat, vegetable sides, and desserts including tiramisu and panna cotta. Its emphasis, as presented here, is on the ingredients and techniques associated with straightforward Italian cooking, with dishes such as trofie with pesto and artichokes with broad beans sitting alongside more elaborate preparations like stuffed calamari. Photography accompanies the recipes, making the book both a practical cooking collection and a compact survey of familiar Italian dishes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks building a repertoire of traditional Italian dishes

  • Fans of Italian pasta, seafood, vegetable dishes, and classic desserts
