Product Description
Can anyone ever get enough of the delicious repetitions of Italian cuisine--the pastas, the tomatoes, the cheeses, the herbs, and the olive oil? Judging from the never ending popularity of this cuisine, the answer must be no.
In The North End Italian Cookbook, Marguerite DiMino Buonopane has revisited every treasured recipe from earlier editions of this book as well as added new tried-and-true favorites. Many are family recipes, cooked the way her mother and grandparents used to cook. This ancestral cuisine is from the Roman region of Italy, where the food was the sustenance of the common people. Many of the recipes, however, were created in Boston's North End. The recipes, from antipasto to dessert, recapture days gone by and preserve the present-day traditions of North End Italian cooking.
Using these recipes as guides, readers can incorporate over time a style of their own, one that suits their family's tastes. And with this book readers will be guided every step of the way in the art of cooking Italian. It's as if they were taking a cooking class in which they are the only students.
Classic Italian dishes include: Cannellini Beans Insalata, Pasta e Fagiole, Farina Dumplings, Marinara Sauce, Frittata di Spaghetti, Potato Gnocchi, Veal Scaloppine, Beef Braciole in Tomato Sauce, Calamri Freddo, Gelato, and Italian Toto Cookies.

Great cookbook! August 18, 2008

This cookbook is wonderful, I went onto Amazon looking for an Italian cookbook and found this one. It has everything I was looking for, every Italian recipe that I needed and more. Photographs are great and put you right in the old Italian setting. Love this item.

perfect, easy, real Italian. Recipes are no fail. When I lived in the North end in the 90's (pre nouveau) everything tasted this good. But be careful, the Pignoli cookie recipe calls for 1 pound of pine nuts, (thats like $25!) You only really need 5 oz or so. Must be a misprint.
Italian American at Its Best October 8, 2007

I know that Italian American cooking is out of style, but it still puts a smile on my families face. My brothers, our wives and children rave when I cook Ma's food. But I have a secret, I don't cook Ma's food. She was unfortunately, gone before I got her recipes. I cook Marguerite's food. I bought this book in the late 80's and it fell apart from love. This book will bring back memories or make them, five stars.

I have tried numerous recipes since buying this book and every one of them was well received. I am my worse critic but I too know a good dish when I taste one. Olga's fishcakes were delicious.

I love this cookbook. The recipes are excellent--the book is worth the value for the gnocchi recipe alone--just like mama's.
