Publisher's Synopsis
Isn't picking up a ready meal at the store easier than cooking Italian food at home?
There is a misconception that home cooking is too difficult and too complex to try, but that's not entirely true. Yes, making a meal from scratch requires patience and skill but anyone can do it. You don't need to be a Michelin-star chef to create a great plate of food, not if you're willing to try and keep a calm head. Italian food is bold, rich, and super easy to make but people often opt for store-bought meals as it saves time and money. Unfortunately, you don't always get an authentic taste of Italian cuisine. When you make a meal from the start, it enables you to put your heart and soul into it which makes it taste better. You can stick with traditional methods or put your own modern spin on it. Remember, Italian food goes beyond pizza and pasta. While pasta is a staple part of Italian cuisine, there is much more to it and that's what makes Italian food so versatile and admired. You can utilize fresh ingredients and good proteins and enjoy healthier but tastier meals. Feed the mind and the body with good food and it'll help you enjoy mealtimes again. I wrote this cookbook because I love Italian cuisine. I love how bold the flavors are, how rich the food can be but also how subtle dishes can be. One amazing plate of food can make you feel as though you're sitting on a Sicilian hillside watching the setting sun. Hopefully, by reading this cookbook, you will be inspired to try some good Italian food and enjoy the unique but rich flavors. So, crack open the pantry, and let's fall in love with food again.
