The Italian Table: Creating festive meals for family and friends Hardcover – Illustrated, March 12, 2019

I took a cooking class in Rome about a year ago and have been hooked on the art of Italian cooking ever since then. I discovered Emily's blog when searching for the perfect cacio e pepe recipe and followed her IG as well! (side note: she shared a method of cooking up the perfect cacio e pepe via a video from the kitchen of a well established restaurant in Rome - that vid blew my mind and was the key to perfecting this ever elusive recipe!). When I found out she was releasing a new book, I was excited for it's release and I was not disappointed!The book is beautifully photographed and the concept of providing dinner planning ideas beyond the meal is wonderful. I've already tried my hand at a couple of the recipes and they've been a hit with the family. I'm really looking forward to exploring making all of the pizza recipes that will take me back to all of those amazing little pizza shops in Rome with yards and yards of flat, square slices of heaven! Especially the potato pizza recipe (which may sound off putting, but believe me, is nothing short of pure decadence!).My only small gripe about this book is that the measurements aren't also listed in measurements of weight. But it's honestly not a big deal as the food has still been turning out wonderfully!All-in-all this book presents recipes and ideas that I know I'll be turning to for years to come and I'm grateful to add such a gem to my library!

If you love Ialian life style and of course Italian food I highly recommend this book. Beautiful pictures frame work wonderful Italian party dishes including party planning. There are easy to follow recipes from major regions of Italy hich truly makes you want to plan your next trip to Italy.

This book was written by an IG friend. I gave them as Christmas gifts. The photos were beautiful too! Everyone loved it!

Great pictures, recipes and information about all of the regions in Italy

Rotolini do zucchini con ricotta (page 227) says poppy seeds. Based on the photo corresponding, looks black sesame to me. Also, the zucchini looks coated in panko.Well, I guess I should take the photo, page 226 as one of "variations."I made melanzane sott'aOlio; it came out really good.

Very good design, photos and cooking info. Really the Italian way.

Am second generation Italian and one of the things I love most is hosting friends and family around the table. Every page of this book was well thought out and crafted. My heart leaped every time I turned the page. It just captured the lifestyle so perfectly. Molto bene!

Beautiful cookbook. Very excited to use.
