This cookbook is a perfect fit for anyone who has a passion for pasta. It includes a gorgeous selection of recipes and memories, and is packed full of helpful information about techniques and ingredients. This is a must read for anyone with a love of Italian food!

The Essential Mediterranean: How Regional Cooks… door Nancy Harmon Jenkins

This is the book with 'my' falafel recipe, but also pannelle, which I have never tried. The writing about food history is as important as the recipes themselves, explaining not only climate and crops, but also famine and war that contribute to the food ethic that underlies much of what ends up on the table. This all rings so very true, stories of older adults remembering hunger after WW II and linking that to using every part of the pig.

Organized by material: salt,olive oil, wheat; pasta, wine, chickpeas, lentils, favas, peppers & tomatoes, family pig, the sea, cheese & yogurt, plus basic recipes and procedures. For me there are some familiar, authentic basics that give me faith in the book and in the author, which entices me to improve and expand beyond my current repertoire.… (meer)

The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook: A Delicious… door Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Its authentic without being so exotic as to seem inaccessible. There is a slant to explaining why this palette of food, flavors, and methods is healthy, but eschews detailed nutritional analysis for the principle that good food, simply prepared and savored is healthy. Recipes draw on Spain, Morroco, Tunisia, Italy, Greece, Lebanon united by their common Mediterranean history. Practical, like all of the three NHJ books, but with slightly less food history, and with the blessings of Marion Nestle.

Cucina del Sole: A Celebration of Southern Italian… door Nancy Harmon Jenkins

This is the book with the scaccia recipe as close to Pina's scaccia as I have come, and Pina herself couldn't tell me better. Authenticity and clarity of thought pop up throughout the book . There are no pictures except on the cover and of this editorial choice I approve. Forces you to read slowly and completely.
