Putting this book to use and making genuine Italian food

Love is the common denominator that binds the cuisine of each Italian region together to create a national treasure. Before discussing individual recipes and techniques, one must conjure up a sense of amore in order to be a great Italian cook. A deep sense of love for oneself, for those you’re cooking for, for the recipes and the regions themselves, and for the producers of the ingredients – let them inspire you to place a premium on cooking and eating well in the first place. Keeping those topics close to your heart and mind will inspire you to cook Italian food well.

Even if you’ve never cooked Italian food before, there’s no need to be intimidated. Despite Italy’s long, rich, and varied culinary history, the tips and techniques in this book prove how simple, accessible, straightforward, mouthwatering, and healthful Italian food can be.
