North End Italian Cookbook

I hesitated to order since I have so many Italian cookbooks. This is a must have! Growing up in NY lots of recipes in here you loved especially from your Italian grandparents & didn't know what went in it or forgot about until you see the recipes.

An Italian from Somerville,MA

What a delight, finding a cookbook with everything my mother cooked but I didn't ask for the how to's. I've tried many many of these recipes and they were great. My mom threw in a bit of this a pinch of that a palm.. of this other but I never wrote them down. Now I know quantities for many many of mom's dishes. Thanks Marguertie

Boston Italian

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! I'm half Italian and I grew up outside of Boston. My Dad stumbled across this book and I had to buy him a new one. I stole his original copy and it's covered w/ splotches from all of the good things I've cooked. The recipes are authentic and very easy to make. I'd recommend it to anyone.

RECIPES YOU THOUGHT WERE GONE FOREVER

Let me just say you will be amazed at the recipe's that are in this book. I know I was. Remember Mom's cooking and Grandma's cooking? How you begged them for the recipe and how they would never give the recipes or omit some of the ingredients so it would never quite taste the same? How many of those recipes have gone to the grave with them? Well they are in this book and you can enjoy them again and again!

Excellent for beginners of Italian cooking

I found this book under the title of the North End Union Italian Cookbook. This is the revised version. I am of Italian heritage, and found the recipes to be just like my nonna and mother made. The recipes are easy, delicious, andd truly Italian. A must for anyone wanting to cook traditional Italian food from antipasto to biscotti.
