Milk Street Backroads Italy: Finding Italy's Forgotten Recipes

"With one or two titles a year arriving from the Milk Street media empire, you could be forgiven for losing track of what’s cooking. Don’t sleep on Backroads Italy, though. The most region-specific of the lot, it benefits from the attentions of award-winning food and travel writer J.M. Hirsch. Standards like Meatball Cacciatore and Chicken Saltimbocca come alive with detailed, foolproof instructions. Gnocchi with Saffron, Shrimp and Mussels shines whether you make your own gnocchi or punt. Above all, be sure to try the “erbazzone,” or Savory Greens Tart with Pancetta and Parmesan, which had me raving deliriously for weeks."
