A large volume of Italian classics and a great book to add to your library. Try the lasagne recipe - it takes hours, but you've never had anything so good.

I've had this book in my library for years. It never fails to deliver something good when I consult its pages for ideas and inspiration.

First published in the 1950's, its 1264 pages are Italy's equivalent to "The Joy of Cooking". Only recently translated into English, it's now ready for you to pour over for days on end.

Classic American baking recipes, all tested and packed with helpful tips. Authored by 13 talented experts.

There aren't too many books that tell you how to cure your own salami or make pate. This is a great one.
