![]() ![]() It is also, of course, a book of excellent, incredibly simple, and kosher Italian recipes. ![]() This is a book for anyone interested in food or war history, disappearing traditions, and this largely unknown part of Tuscany's Maremma, on the border of Lazio. But what really makes this such a special book is Machlin's moving memoir that recounts a “vanished way of life” with old black and white photographs and menus of Jewish celebrations. It also includes lost specialties of this part of Tuscany, like borricche (cinnamon pastries) and sfratti (honey and walnut logs). In it you’ll find ricotta-filled pizza, deep fried artichokes (her 'hymn to an artichoke' essay is one of my favorite pieces of food writing) and fried mozzarella sandwiches, pappa al pomodoro, polenta pasticciata (a hearty peasant dish of baked polenta with porcini mushroom and cheese sauce), beet risotto (“add rice and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until rice begins to make a sharp, dry noise”) and gems like olio di arrosto (oil from a roast). Unlike some other Italian cookbooks, The Complete Italian Cookbook will help you make beloved dishes in your own kitchen with more than 100 authentic recipes.
