Historian Luca Cesari is an expert on Italian food. In his new book, The History of Pizza, he explores the origins of this iconic Neapolitan dish, looks at the migration of pizza to the United States, and the evolution of the dish from working-class flatbread into global sensation. I caught up with him earlier this month to talk about the book.
A new cookbook on Italian food is available today, but it is much more than just a collection of recipes. Let’s Eat Italy!: Everything You Want to Know About Your Favorite Cuisine provides readers with helpful charts and images.
Available today is a new Italian-American inspired cookbook from Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, who teamed up with Jamie Feldman, a cookbook writer and editor. Italian American: Red Sauce Classics and New Essentials: A Cookbook promises a modern take on classic red sauce recipes.
