Cookbook Recommendations

I have a couple of shelves full of cookbooks in my library. Here are some of my favorites available on Amazon and from other booksellers.

Marcella Hazan opened up a new world of authentic Italian cooking with the publication of Essentials of Italian Cooking. She helped me expand my repertoire beyond the Italian-American cuisine I was most comfortable making. Some say that Marcella did for Italian cooking what Julia Child did for French cooking in the U.S. Marcella’s Italian Kitchen is a breezier, lighter tome. In the preface Marcella shares her philosophy about authentic Italian cooking, her cultural Italian food insights and some rules in the Italian kitchen. The recipes are more accessible to a newie but start with Essentials first.

Pellegrino Artusi’s Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well was published 120 years ago and is still a best-seller. It was the first cookbook in the Italian language for Italian home cooks. There are almost 800 recipes and is laced with kitchen tips and insights into food culture in Italia.

I love Lydia Matticchio Bastianich. I watch her PBS shows, I visit Eataly, her Italian food emporium, whenever I’m in Manhattan. I have just about every one of her books. Here’s one I use often but I recommend any of her tomes. Her recipes are simple and reflect her slow food philosophy. Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy and Lydia’s Italy feature authentic recipes from a number of Italian regions. Her latest book Lidia’s Italy in America is a celebration of classic Italian-American dishes culled from Italian neighborhoods, including North Beach, across America.

San Francisco’s Carol Field is the author of The Italian Baker, the classic tome just recently reissued. Carol learned her recipes from artisan bakers throughout Italia and makes them accessible to American bakers. The recipes are almost fool-proof.

East Bay Area resident Rosetta Costantino was born in Calabria, the region at the bottom of the Italian boot. She shares the zesty, simple cooking in a generous book, My Calabria.

Jessica Theroux’s Cooking with Italian Grandmothers contains recipes she learned from “old stoves” who live close to the land. The women shared the secrets of their simple kitchens and Jessica makes them easy to make in your kitchen.

Giuliano Bugialli was one of my earliest teachers. He provides authentic techniques classic Tuscan dishes and provides authentic techniques. I still use the 1977 first edition of The Fine Art of Italian Cooking often. The Foods of Italy is a beautiful coffee table sized book. Bugialli includes classic regional recipes from dishes that he discovered as he travelled all around Italia researching this book. The photographs in this book are beautiful. The Foods of Naples and Campania is another coffee table sized book, this is one of my favorite Neapolitan cookbooks with great authentic recipes and fantastic photos.

Friends introduced me to Naples at Table by Arthur Schwartz about 10 years ago. It is a dazzling collection of the simple food of Naples and the region of Campania. I use this book often. It may be hard to find but it is worth the effort.

Alice Waters’ The Art of Simple Food is a must have book with over 250 simple recipes from this early slow food pioneer. Learn to eat locally and seasonally to enjoy food at its peak.
