From sweet and crumbly Ciambella Coffee Cake to Risotto Tri Colore, the recipes of this extraordinary home cook are a treasure. The book is presented in four sections chronicling Egi's life in and around the kitchen, beginning with her early apprenticeship in her grandmother's kitchen, and chronicling the dishes she created for her husband, their sons, and their restaurants. More than 90 recipes tested for the home cook are presented with clear instructions to enable readers to bring the rich flavors of Egi Maccioni's Italian cooking into their own homes.
