Big Flavors from Italian America: Family-Style Favorites from Coast to Coast

Nostalgia merges with history and family in this latest from America’s Test Kitchen (ATK) to bring out the flavors that one remembers from the past. Recipes begin with a section, “why this recipe works,” as a way to introduce the ATK process. Detroit pizza, Philadelphia tomato pie, and St. Louis pizza, among others, round out the pizza section. Many variations of pasta are considered, including spaghetti aglio e olio and spaghetti with fresh clams. The editors also profile relevant businesses. La Campagna from Westlake, OH, offers its signature eggplant pecorino recipe. Specific brands of ingredients, including giardiniera, prosciutto, and cheese are recommended. Dishes that range from appetizers (marinated olives) through desserts (zeppoles) are featured throughout, and full-color photographs emphasize the tasty options.
