Book Reviews of The North End Italian Cookbook, 5th
Book Review: The North End Italian Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never written a review for amazon.com before, but I feel so strongly about this book I was compelled to write one. I've had the first version of this book, for too many years to remember, so used that it is held together with elastic bands and handled with great care. I've bought copies for my family and friends and they too love it.
Even though the synopsis calls the recipes mostly from the Roman region of Italy, I found recipes that were distinctly Sicilian and I hadn't seen in print anywhere before. I thought my family and their friends were the only ones that made Totos! ( and called them that too! lol) Also, many recipes go under different names from what my family and our local Sicilian community called them and were included in the book. A few recipes that were lost in my family after the elders passed away were thankfully given back to the younger generation because of this book. This is almost as good has holding your Nanna and Nonno's cookbook in your hands.
I really love it, as you can tell, especially since it has the distinct advantage, for me, of coming from a Boston/Italian-American's slant on how food should taste. Not only is Italian cooking regional, but so is American-Italian cooking I suspect when I read other Italian cookbooks.
Buy it for the Chocolate Biscotti recipe alone. It's worth it!
