Getting dinner on the table for the family can feel like a chore, but with a bit of help from Silvia Colloca, you'll be armed with the knowledge and recipes to make life in the kitchen so much easier. In Italian Family Food, Silvia shows you how to meal plan and cook like they do in Italy, with wisdom and tricks passed down from generations of clever, thrifty nonnas. Learn how to repurpose leftovers so that you cook once but eat twice, get more out of your freezer and throw together simple yet delicious meals with the most basic of pantry items.

Silvia shares more than 85 simple, delicious and economical meals that will make the whole family smile. There are budget-friendly weeknight lifesavers, such as one-tray chicken and capsicum bake or one-pot penne with tuna and capers, plus loads of meals you can make ahead of time then reheat to serve, such as eggplant parmigiana rolls or tender tomato-braised meat. As well as a host of simple family dinners, there are chapters on whipping up the perfect panini, midnight feasts, preserves and sweets.

It's time to ease the stress and add more joy at meal times. This delicious Italian home cooking will bring your family together around the table and make life a whole lot simpler, happier and tastier!
