Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

Essentials of Italian Cooking is a culinary bible for anyone wishing to master the art of Italian cooking, combining Marcella Hazan's best-selling books, The Classic Italian Cook Book and More Classic Italian Cooking, into a single volume. It is intended as a basic manual for cooks of all levels of expertise, from beginners to seasoned professionals, and it includes both an accessible and comprehensive guide to techniques and ingredients, as well as a collection of the most delectable recipes from the Italian repertoire.

With super helpful illustrations, the author explains how to master all of the Italian techniques and flavors, so even the most experienced chefs can find something new to learn. Home cooks who have used Marcella's classic books for years (and whose copies are now splattered and worn) know that no one is more gifted at teaching us exactly what we need to know about the taste and texture of a dish and how to achieve it, and no one is more passionate and inspiring about authentic Italian food.
