I've owned this book since it first came out in 1992, and it occupies a special place in my cooking library - eye-level shelf for easy reach. The salad of tart greens with prosciutto and warm balsamic dressing has been my first course for many outstanding dinner parties, including several on New Year's Eve. Other particular favorites - the lamb, garlic & potato roast, maccheroni with baked grilled vegetables, torta barozzi, and chestnut ricotta cheesecake. Ms. Kasper's outstanding knowledge of this regional Italian cuisine is equally matched by her understanding of how a home chef times and assembles a multi-course meal. I'm now ordering her new book, The Italian Country Table, and hope to be just as impressed.

No other author has inspired such creativity and emotion in me. Kasper doesn't just tell you the ingredients and procedures, she relates the history of her dishes and the people behind them. From the Wine Basted Rabbit to the Balsalmic and Braised Garlic Pasta, every recipe is absolutely wonderful! Each recipe is followed by helpful wine and menu suggestions. If you are passionate about the people, culture, and food of Italy this is the book for you. |

The recipe for soup stock alone has changed my life. I used to use canned stock, but now I make this stock once a month and use it for everything - I even drink steaming mugs of it for breakfast as the author recommends.
The recipes are so precise that even a beginner like me can prepare some impressive meals.

Every recipe I've tried from this cookbook is a winner. The Christmas pasta with sugar, almonds and orange zest, topped by a capon has become an annual tradition in our family. Whenever cooking from it, I constantly find myself getting lost in the anecdotes and historical background. In fact, this book actually helped direct us when planning our gastronomical tour of northern Italy.

This cookbook is a loving introduction into some of the best Italian cooking I have tasted. Impressive dishes can be prepared from clear and easy directions; directions for advanced preparation and freezing are ideal for entertaining. The ragu recipes alone make this book valuable. Excellent tortellini, excellent peasant bread.

My wife is a food professional and we eat very well at home. She mentioned this book after our trip through Tuscany & Umbria earlier this year and I bought it as a gift for her. Wish that we'd had it years ago! The Bolognese sauce alone is worth the price! I do not personally use the cookbook but have been hearing raves about the content - both recipes and general information about this region in Italy. This is very high praise from my hard-to-please retired teaching chef wife.
