This book is classified as a juvenile cookbook. As such, it does a great job of introducing young people to cooking skills in general and Italian cooking in particular. The book also is part travelogue and part history lesson. There’s a lot of information.
The best feature of the book are the recipes. They are slightly different from the usual Italian cookbook offerings and they are very good. The spaghetti al sugo, which can be baked in the oven, is a real winner. It’s tasty and so convenient for a busy day. I’ve also made the minestrone and the biscuit tortoni and they were both “keepers”.
