I love Nick Stellino and this is a worthy follow up to his first book, "Cucina Amore".The recipes are easy to follow and allow the amateur cook to play with the recipes as they like. One of my favorites is "Pasta alla Vodka". There is no way to mess that recipe up! I've tried canned tomato sauce versus homemade sauce, dried herbs versus fresh herbs, pancetta versus bacon, etc. and it was always delicious (ideally, fresh is best andraises the meal to new heights, but as I said, even with canned ingredients, they still make a great meal)!Another favorite recipe is Pasta Incaciata. That one is worthy of a holiday gathering if not a Sunday dinner! Pasta alla Carbonara (one of serveral versions of this dish to try!), Chicken Paprikash (and the adorable love story that goes with it!), Pollo del Cacciatore, Herbed Pork Chops, Braised Sausages & Polenta, Torta Rustica and Lamb Meatballs with Girgento Suace are among my absolute faves!There are also a few calzone recipes and they came out just fine - and you can bake them instead of frying them. Not to mention recipes for pizza dough to make your own pizzas!I hadn't done many of the desserts from this book since I don't eat them too often, but there's a great cookie recipe known as "Cinnamon Sugar Cookies Dipped in Chocolate" Even if you don't dip the cookies in the chocolate, they are a great alternative to the same old chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies. They'll stand out on a cookie tray. The desserts are for the most part typical of the Sicilian tradition of fruit based desserts and not the heavy desserts Americans have traditionally eaten, but they are no less enjoyable. There are also several recipes for ices which you'll proudly serve during those hot summer nights dining al fresco!And for the less adventurous, you could start off with the side dishes which I'm sure will help perk up your average meatloaf entrees, and some vegetable sides that maybe the kids could actually enjoy eating.As with all of Nick Stellino's books there are anecdotes with every recipe which give a bit of insight into the man and his cooking.It definitely should be part of your cookbook collection!

Well done Nick. Kudos.I've tried many of Nick's recipes from this book (and from his website), and with just a very few exceptions, every out came out spectacularly.All the recipes are well written and easy to follow. Even as an experienced cook, I still gain new insights from the many "Cook's Tips" through out the book. He keeps the personal asides to a minimum and short. This is a cookbook after all and not a biography.And the "used" prices are unbelievable. From some sellers only $0.01 plus $4 shipping!I can (and do) recommend this book.
