"Nigella, who studied Italian at Oxford, indulges her personal passion for Italy, where she lived, worked, and cooked when she was in her 20s, before she was a busy TV star, wife, and mom. Nigella's Italy inspires readers to bring the spirit of Italy into the kitchen--without needing to source inaccessible ingredients or totally restock the pantry--with Nigella's quick and easy recipes and simple techniques that will elevate everyday eating into no-fuss feasts. To Nigella, no ingredient belongs in a recipe--or in the pantry for that matter--unless it really earns its place, and in Nigella's Italy, she shows readers how a weeknight dish can be a faithful interpretation of traditional Italian fare without involving numerous steps or ingredients. For example, a lemon, some oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano can add fire and life to a number of dishes. Or if a recipe calls for the juice of a lemon, use the zest, too, as that's where all its force and fragrance lies. Here are recipes like Italian Roast Chicken with Peppers and Olives; Shortcut Sausage Meatballs; Spaghetti with Tuna, Lemon, and Arugula; and Nutella Cheesecake--all that can be rustled up pronto!"-- Provided by publisher.

Alright submitted by seadocks on August 15, 2013, 7:22pm This book was not as good as her previous books. I felt that it was just regular food with a only a few things changed here and there. The quality fo the book is great and the pics are nice, but the recipes just didn't motivate me to make any of them right after reading them. Usually I think a cookbook will be good if right after reading something I have to right down the page and recipe and start a shopping list and this book just didn't do it. I think her other books had some real good recipes, her best book, I feel, is her kitchen one. I guess if you really love Italian you might like this book, but then again there are probably a lot of better Italian cookbooks out there.
