Italian Cookery

[tamarinne]

So for Alexx's birthday (really intended just for Alexx's visit, until I found out it was his birthday at which point it became a Birthday Feast) I made a recipe I've had my eye on for a while: Big Bucket O' Meat.  (Yeah, they've got some fancy-pants name for it.  Whatevs.)  It was good, although I'm not sure it was worth all the effort, but it led to a larger discussion of meat preparation methods (specifically of braciole, which I'd never made before I made this recipe), which led to the shocking discovery that I don't have an Italian cookbook.

 

Any recommendations out there for a good Italian cookbook?  I need to polish up my braciole skills...

Ok, I had to click on the link just because of the name. It sounds divine.

It was very yummy - but it was also a *lot* of work. And I think we all agreed that it didn't taste quite like we imagined it would. There was some speculation that having a higher beef-to-pork ratio might be worth trying.

This is a good, basic Italian cookbook.
