In her New York Times bestseller
Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis introduced us
to the simple, fresh flavors of her native Italian cuisine.
Now, America’s favorite Italian cook is back with a
new batch of simple, delicious recipes geared toward family
meals—Italian style.
These unpretentious and delicious meals
are at the center of some of Giada’s warmest memories
of sitting around the table with her family, passing bowls
of wonderful food, and laughing over old times. Recipes for
soups like Escarole and Bean and hearty sandwiches such as
the classic Italian Muffuletta make casual, easy suppers,
while one-pot dinners like Giada’s Chicken Vesuvio and
Veal Stew with Cipollini Onions are just as simple but elegant
enough for company. You’ll also find recipes for holiday
favorites you’ll be tempted to make all year round,
including Easter Pie, Turkey and Ciabatta Stuffing with Chestnuts
and Pancetta, and Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce.
Giada’s Family Dinners celebrates
the fun of family meals with photographs of Giada’s
real-life family and friends as well as the wonderful dishes
she shares with them in her kitchen. Suggested menus help
you put together a family-style meal for any occasion, from
informal to festive.
The heart of Italian cooking is the home,
and Giada’s Family Dinners—full of fantastic
recipes that require a minimum of fuss to prepare—invites
you to treat everyone like a member of the family.
Nothing is more important than family.
Bring yours to the table with Giada’s unpretentious,
authentic, down-home Italian cooking!
