Bring the rich, heartwarming flavors of Italy to your kitchen with Laura in the Kitchen: 100 Classic Italian Recipes, a collection of family favorites from the beloved food star, Laura Vitale. Drawing from her childhood memories of her nonna’s kitchen, this cookbook takes you on a flavorful journey through the heart of Italian cuisine.
When Laura moved from Italy to the United States as a teenager, she felt a deep homesickness not just for her family, but for the comforting, home-cooked meals of her nonna. The dishes that shaped her childhood—from slow-cooked Sunday sauces loaded with tender pork ribs and braised beef, to crispy breaded chicken cutlets destined for Parmesan—became the foundation for her culinary journey.
After countless phone calls with her nonna to perfect recipes, Laura brings you beloved family favorites, including crispy Cacio e Pepe Arancini, Zia Mimma’s Focaccia Barese (made with mashed potatoes for that perfect fluffy texture), decadent four-cheese baked ziti, and a classic roasted chicken with potatoes and herby lemon salsa. And for dessert, indulge in a semolina cake topped with limoncello-soaked strawberries—a sweet ending to any meal.
These 100 recipes showcase the essence of Italian cooking, offering everything from festive Sunday suppers to fast weeknight dinners. Whether you're an experienced cook or just beginning your culinary adventure, Laura’s passion and love for Italian cuisine shine through in every dish.
Perfect for anyone who loves authentic Italian food, Laura in the Kitchen brings Italy’s timeless flavors into your own kitchen, making it easy to create delicious, memorable meals for your family and friends.
