About This Book
A practical cookbook presenting home-style Italian recipes adapted for American households, opening with a foreword urging thrift and domestic economy. Organized by course—soups, vegetables, eggs, cornmeal dishes, pastas, sauces, fish, meats, and sweets—it gives detailed, economical instructions for pasta dough, ravioli, risotto, tomato and white sauces, and regional preparations. Recipes emphasize simple, frugal techniques, substitutions for economy, and methods for extending ingredients, with tips for household equipment and serving. Menu suggestions and variations recur, aiming to reproduce cucina casalinga flavors using accessible American ingredients and straightforward procedures.
