MY REVIEW:  Author Manuela Anelli Mazzocco, a blogger, recipe developer, and photographer, left Italy as a young bride and came to the United States bearing her mother-in-law's book of treasured family recipes. After twenty years of cooking for her own family, she now offers "The Complete Italian Cookbook: Essential Regional Cooking of Italy". The twenty small regions of Italy are grouped into five main regions: Northwest, Northeast, Central, South, and Islands. The geography--which influences the delicious cuisine of each region--ranges from mountains to seashores and historic towns and beautiful countrysides. The recipes include Appetizers, Soups and Salads, Risotto and Polenta, Sauces and Pasta, Pizza and Bread, Meat and Poultry, Fish and Seafood, Vegetables, and Desserts and Drinks. Here are some of the delicious dishes you'll find: "Sicilian Rice Balls"; "Onion Frittata", "Venetian-Style Beans and Pasta Soup"; "Tuscan Bread and Tomato Salad"; "Seafood Risotto"; "Baked Polenta with Cheese, Mushrooms, and Sausage"; "Spaghetti with Garlic, Oil, and Hot Peppers". "Pasta with Pesto, Green Beans, and Potatoes"; "Rosemary Focaccia Bread"; "Garlic Rolls"; "Meatballs in Tomato Sauce"; "Sicilian-Style Swordfish"; "Eggplant Parmigiana"; "Baked Tomato Gratin"; "Tiramisu"; "Grandma's Cake"; and "Bellini Cocktail". This taste-filled "culinary tour" of Italy also includes a regional map and a glossary.
