"This bible of the Italian culinary tradition is now available in English, a must-have reference book for all who love cooking and eating the dishes of Il Bel Paese-Italy." - Lidia Bastianich, author of Lidiars's Italy

"If you have been to Italy and still dream about the fish soup you had in Liguria, the peppery pasta of Rome, or the seafood risotto of Venice-not to worry-all these dishes can be found here. This book shows that trends may come and go but the tradition of great, heartwarming Italian food is here to stay." - Biba Caggiano, author of Bibars's Italy

"As one would expect from a book put together by the members of the Italian Academy of Cuisine, this represents the apex of Italian food culture. The book is an essential contribution to our understanding of the intricate complexities of real Italian food. I have found here recipes unknown to me, despite my having studied the subject for more than five decades." - Comm. Antonio Carluccio, OBE, author of Italia

It will teach you the traditions and ingredients of Italy and an understanding of Italiansrs" approach to cooking-a book to truly treasure." - Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers, The River Cafeacute

"If you've traveled in Italy, you've probably wondered why, say, pasta with chickpeas is made differently in towns 10 kilometers apart, or why you have never found that spice cake you loved in Terni anywhere else. That's because Italian cooking isn't just regional, it's microregional as La Cucin aproves to fascinating effect. This book packs in so many recipes there's no room for bucolic back stories, photos or detailed instructions but what delicious recipes you'll find picking and preparing dishes at random will prove an enjoyable game for winter's day." - New York Times Book Review

"La Cucina: The Regional Cooking of Italy(Rizzoli, 2009) is a masterpiece of Italian cooking, compiled by the founders of the Italian Academy of Cuisine. It's an essential addition to any cook's library with 2,000 recipes." - Saveur "Try to cook your way through one of these books. Bigger is better with new cookbook trend." The Associated Press "The book is absurdly comprehensive" - Time Out New York

More than 2,000 recipes from all over Italy, collected a half century ago by cultural preservationists and published here for the first time in English. The recipes are neatly organized and identified by region - there are dozens of recipes just for anchovies (yes, that is a good thing). Every home should have a copy." - The San Francisco Chronicle
