Italian American Forever
Italian American Forever, by Food Network star Alex Guaraschelli, is an unabashed love letter to the iconic dishes that define the Italian-American cuisine. This easy reading and informative cookbook includes over 120 go-to Italian American favorites, with all the red-sauced, pan-fried, crispy-cornered, baked-until-bubbly comforting classics you’ll want to eat every night. Italian American Forever celebrates and preserves the tried-and-true classics that migrated from Sicily, Bari and all corners of Italy to find a new foothold in American Cuisine.
"These are the recipes that are favorites for so many of us, whether your family is from Italy or not. From Fettuccine Alfredo, Whole Chicken alla Diavola, and Carmella Soprano’s Lasagna (yes, that Carmella Soprano) to Stuffed Artichokes so big and bursting that they’re a main course unto themselves, these 120 recipes and 115 stunning photos are a celebration of garlic and tomatoes, Parmesan, pesto, and all the meatballs, sausages, and tiramisu in between. There are both simple weeknight suppers and slowly simmered Sunday sauces, and they represent the food we make to celebrate, commiserate, and just to be—it’s Italian, it’s American, it’s all of us."
