The Italian Table delivers both the fantasy and reality of Italian meals as they would be enjoyed on location. Combining menus and recipes with a visual experience and inspiration—as well as insight into the traditions of the food and celebrations—it serves as a practical resource, offering home cooks and hosts step-by-step guidance on how to recreate these fabulous meals at their own tables.

Menus and recipes include: Eating in the Market in Florence with Coward’s Spaghetti, Pappa al Pomodoro, and Apple Cake; A Sunday Lunch in Emilia-Romagna with Ricotta and Swiss Chard Tortelli, Vegetable Pie, and Stuffed Pork Roast; and A Table by the Sea in Positano with Mozzarella on Grilled Lemon Leaves, Squid and Walnut Salad, and Jackie O’s Spaghetti.

With a resources section for Italian ingredients; headnotes full of interesting history, recipe shortcuts, and serving suggestions; and menu introductions detailing what to drink, how to set the table, and how to time the preparation and the party itself, this is an essential guide for home cooks and those who love to entertain.
