My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mama Mia!! If you like Italian food, you’ll love this book! Filled with stories and anecdotes along with absolutely delightful recipes, it is a feast for mind and body.

I love that this cookbook doesn’t just rely on you buying items like sun-dried tomatoes, giardiniera, pepperoncini and more, but gives you the recipes to make them yourself. Don’t run down to the store to pick up some salami or Soppressate, gather family around and make some yourself!

From fresh made pasta to lovely soups, delightful desserts and more, this book has something for everyone. Zucchini Fritti con Pecorino is beyond amazing. Kids who hate zucchini will love this! Maria’s Pasta di Mandorla (Almond Biscuits) are easy to make and delicious to eat!

Mangia! Mangia! is a lovely book of food and family and I am happy to recommend it. Cook some Italian tonight–your family will thank you!

I received a copy of this book from Penguin Lantern Press through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
