Get out of the pizza, spaghetti, and lasagna rut with this best-of-the-best collection of iconic dishes from each of Italy's great food regions.

The Slow Food movement was founded in Italy. One of its chief goals is to collect and curate the best and most authentic regional dishes around the world. After decades of intensive research, Slow Foods Europe shares from their extensive archives the greatest recipes from Italy's trattorias, osterias, and other authentically local restaurants-updated and modified to be accessible and easy for home cooks.

Each with its own color photo and every one delectably good, the recipes include:

Extraordinary pastas, from a Spinach-and-Ricotta-Filled Pasta from the Alps of Northern Italy to a Seafood Tagliolini from Abruzzo, in Southern Italy on the coast of the Adriatic Sea.Robust and hearty main courses, like a veggie-rich Hunter's Chicken from The Piedmont, an easy-to-make, throw-it-all-in-a-pot classic to serve over rice, pasta, or polenta.Luscious and creamy risottos, including an aromatic and perfectly delicious Milanese Saffron Risotto made with fresh parmesan.Appetizers and finger foods for parties, from Potato-Cheese Croquettes to Peppery Mussels to Fried Stuffed Olives.Comforting and easy-to-make desserts, such as an exceptional Zuppa Inglese Trifle from Emilia-Romagna and a Crumbly Almond Cake from Lombardy.
Italian Home Cooking is a rustic, authentic, easy-to-use, and beautiful kitchen companion, whether for the busy weeknight whirl or for special dinners with family and friends.
