The Simple Italian e-Cookbook

In an homage to his South Philly roots, Chef Greg gives his spin on a handful of classic Italian recipes. He has sorted them by difficulty and theme, and then walks the reader through the “basic” recipes in such a way that even a novice cook can follow. Each basic dish is then re-visited in a slightly more elaborate form as the second level or “+1” recipes. Those entrees then get taken up another notch for the “+2” dishes. From a basic Pomodoro Sauce to an elegant Dover Sole Roulade with Crab, Chef Greg guides the home cook through a wide range of recipes, from a Classic Tomato Salad to Pasticcio with Bechamel and Zucchini, with an unforgettable Sunday Gravy thrown in.

Lavishly illustrated and cleanly styled, this book is a wonderful primer for those new to cooking, or for those looking to re-create authentic Italian-American tastes, The Simple Italian is anything but simple.
