Summary: Native New Yorker's review
Review: This book would be accepted by my Italian ancestors. Italian cooks just know what you add by smell and taste and more smelling and tasting. This gets you to the final process quickly. I must warn you that if the receipe says it feeds 4 that would translate to 4 large adult men who have skipped breakfast and lunch. It is a delicious feast that brought back fond memories of Sunday dinner at Grandmothers.

Review: We have yet to hit a bad recipe in this book which we have been using regularly for over 2 years. There is a wide variety of great recipes along with some unusual ideas to enhance meals (such as seasoning pizza dough to improve flavor). We use this cook book more than any other.

Summary: Grandma would have approved!
Review: When she arrivd at Ellis Island from Italy, my Grandmother Chiarella Derlitz brought what I have always believed to be the BEST Italian recipes possible. If she didn't make it, it wasn't really Italian.. Well, Grandma would have approved of Elodia Rigante's Italian Immigrant Cooking. So many of Mama Rigante's recipes are simple twists on grandma's favorites, complete with family photos that could be my own. The recipes that she has included that are new to me feel as if I've known them forever. Get this book back in print! Now!
