Summary: Italian made delicious and easy
Review: As a restauranteur for over 10 years I have read and cooked with hundreds of books. Ms. Kleinman's recipes are simple and delicious. My favorites include the Pizza Salsicce, Pasta Muro Leccese as well as the Polenta and all the basics. Her uncooked Tomato Sauce has become a staple in my home. This is a great book for the Home Chef.
