Amaretto, Apple Cake and Artichokes: The Best of Anna Del Conte

I love this book, Anna del conte is a well respected writer on iitalian food and after getting this book out of the library and then subsequently buying it i can see why. The chapters are divided by ingredients covering all the basics like rissoto and pasta. whats really nice are that its not all the same recipes that you get in all the other italian cookbooks out there, and the book is interspaced with both historical and personal stories and ancedotes. There is so much of interest to read in here, and to top it off the recipes are really good and have all worked so far out of the ones that ive tried.
