Classic Recipes for Everything You Want to Eat: A Cookbook

Wait time: About 12 weeks
Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli may be a French-trained chef, an Iron Chef, and a short-order-chef to her daughter, Ava, but at her core, she’s an Italian American home cook. Her mom’s heritage was Sicilian and her dad’s people were from Bari; she pledged allegiance to her father’s marinara on weekdays and to her mom’s on the weekend and grew up eating at many of the red-checked-tablecloth trattorias throughout New York City. She still stops in to chitchat with the shop owners in Little Italy, where she buys the milkiest fresh mozz, the most thinly sliced prosciutto, and the crunchiest biscotti.
These are the recipes that are favorites for so many of us, whether your family is from Italy or not. From Fettuccine Alfredo, Whole Chicken alla Diavola, and Carmella Soprano’s Lasagna (yes, that Carmella Soprano) to Stuffed Artichokes so big and bursting that they’re a main course unto themselves, these 120 recipes and 115 stunning photos are a celebration of garlic and tomatoes, Parmesan, pesto, and all the meatballs, sausages, and tiramisu in between. There are both simple weeknight suppers and slowly simmered Sunday sauces, and they represent the food we make to celebrate, commiserate, and just to be—it’s Italian, it’s American, it’s all of us.

Food Network chef and author Guarnaschelli (Cook with Me, 2020; Cook It Up, 2023) moves the dinner table conversation squarely towards dishes from her Italian American upbringing in her latest endeavor. Hearty and mouthwatering mainstays like fettuccine alfredo take center stage, and throwbacks like 1980s date night angel hair pasta, with its touch of heavy cream, and pesto pasta salad provide a sampling of appealing comfort classics. Other filling staples include baked ziti, chicken pizzaiola, and the Italian-sounding but definitively Italian American pollo e peperoni, which includes both bell peppers and American pepperoni. The occasional Italian dish appears on the pages (think: spaghetti alla carbonara, gnocchi alla romana), but the true spirit of the collection lies in how Americans transformed Old World creations. From garlic knots to zabaglione to pignoli cookies, Guarnaschelli will make readers feel like they're being gently guided on a fun stroll down the memory lane of Little Italy.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
