Summary:

They are Val d'Aosta cheese producers. Grandchildren of Sicilian sharecroppers returning to the soil. A restaurateur's family specializing in glorious peppers. They're Italian farmers, vintners, ranchers, market gardeners, olive growers. They're as passionate about cooking and eating food as they are about raising it, and they each have their own segreti -- secrets -- of cuisine and craft.

Now Susan Herrmann Loomis, the critically acclaimed author and farmhouse cooking authority whose previous Farmhouse Cookbook and French Farmhouse Cookbook have 238,000 copies in print, continues her series by going to the very source -- the farmhouse kitchen and the cooks who practice there -- to discover the heart and soul of Italian cooking. A collection of over 250 recipes that are gutsy, fresh, healthy, and easy-to-make, "Italian Farmhouse Cookbook" is an original, extraordinary contribution to Americans' love affair with Italian food. This is the real deal -- earthy Green Beans with Pancetta; Gorgonzola and Goat Cheese Crostini; Lemon and Pine Nut Tagliatelle; Sicilian Orange Salad; Farmhouse Herbed Lamb Chops; Francesca's Pepper Pizza; Ricotta Cheese Torre; and Corrado's Almond Cake. It's pure delizioso, spoken with a rustic -- accent, full of life and authenticity.
