"The Best Italian Cookbook of 2010" -- Publishers Weekly,The Best Cookbooks of 2010 "This made me think of my Great Aunt Marge, a giant among Italian home cooks. She left behind a trove of recipes, but more than that, kitchen memories my family still savors - just like the women in this tome." -- Lynn Andriani, Senior Editor at Publishers Weekly Cooking with Italian Grandmothers reads like a diary, a treasured recipe collection, and a photo album, all at once...Add Cooking with Italian Grandmothers to your collection and you, too, will taste your way through Italy with Jessica Theroux. -- Andrea Mitchell,Foodista.com Buy this book if you or someone you love is interested in Italy, traditions, cooking, travel, discovery. Buy this book if you can picture yourself reading it propped up in bed at night and bringing into the kitchen the next day to take the lasagna recipes for a spin. Buy this book if you feel our elders have something important to offer us, or if you believe that there's something worth preserving in the oldways. -- Apartment Therapy,The Kitchn "Theroux spent a year in Italy, collecting recipes and stories from a dozen grandmothers...Usha in Le Marche shares her plum almond tart recipe, and Maria in Sicily schools Theroux on homemade ricotta. Needless to say, this book is a must for any Nonna-less Italophile." -- 7x7 Magazine "This book is a joy to read, and awakens the appetite with its clear and simple recipes. I'm delighted that the author is a graduate of our Chef's Training Program at the NGI - she deserves all the success coming her way." -- Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D. Founder and CEO, The Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, NYC "Cooking with Italian Grandmothersbegins the important work of documenting the simple traditions that have been passed down verbally through generations...an exquisite, heartfelt anthology that is an important reference for us all". -- Alice Waters, from the introduction "In preparation for my second ever trip to Italy, I was eager to absorb the stories and picturesque details of Cooking with Italian Grandmothers. The chapter about Bruna brought me back to thoughts of driving through the country side, the welcoming people, and the amazing yet simple foods. More reading found me inspired to try Bruna's Coniglio in Bianco (white wine-braised rabbit). As much as I love a good rabbit dish, I had yet to cook one myself until now. Totally lovely and easy to prepare, this rabbit dish worked beautifully with Maria's Cauliflower in Ricotta al Forno. I can not wait to try our more dishes and read the full stories of each grandmother. A true experience - I wish I had been there. I LOVE THIS BOOK." --Dava Guthmiller, CEO & Creative Director of Noise 13 Design, Leader of Slow Food San Francisco "Jessica's elegantly crafted personal portraits present these recipes as artifacts of individual lives lived in rhythm with landscape, season and in harmony with tradition. The whole of this work transcends the expected." --Amaryll Schwertner, Chef/Owner of Boulettes Larder, San Francisco, "The Best Italian Cookbook of 2010" -- Publishers Weekly, The Best Cookbooks of 2010 “This made me think of my Great Aunt Marge, a giant among Italian home cooks.

  • Beautiful for looking at and perusing from your shelf, and to cook out of

    This book was so popular in 2010 when it was published ,with introduction by Alice Water, that it is now rare. It is a beautiful large heavy book, 300 pp. with interviews and pictures of the grandmothers, their milieus and their cooking and perfect for a wonderful present. "This is a book about women and food and listening." These are grandmothers, not in general the great-grandmothers you might picture. They are still lively, forceful and supple. Therefore these are regional traditional versions of accessible recipes still cooked in Italian households, not arcane versions of long-extinct recipes. Fresh seasonal ingredients (both vegetarian and meat-based), as you might expect from an Water-approved book. The osso bucco from Milan, from Maria. Mary's 3 Tuscan soups. A complex ...
