“Viva La Cucina Italiana: Long Live the Italian Cooking, Over 300 Wonderful Recipes from the North, Central, and South of Italy”

“Viva La Cucina Italiana: Long Live the Italian Cooking, Over 300 Wonderful Recipes from the North, Central, and South of Italy” by Joe Famularo and Cristopher Laus

Joe Famularo and Cristopher Laus delve into regional cooking styles from the country’s provinces in “Viva La Cucina Italiana: Long Live the Italian Cooking, Over 300 Wonderful Recipes from the North, Central, and South of Italy” (ISBN 1470170434). Well known in the food world, Famularo has won two James Beard Awards and has been feted by the Maria Theresa Institute of Culinary Arts in Parma, Italy, for his outstanding food journalism.

Italian cooking remains the most popular foreign cuisine in the United States, and this book displays Famularo’s trademark cooking style. The recipes and the stories that inspire the author are derived from several visits to Italy. He personally met with Italian chefs, cooks, families and open-air produce vendors to assemble their culinary portrait, and he also taught Italian cooking in a number of venues. He believes his steps in the kitchen are clear and forthright, and amateur chefs should be comforted by the fact that it is nearly impossible to mess up one of his recipes. 

Famularo hopes that Italian food and culture lovers will enjoy the conversational style of the entries. His 300 recipes are drawn from most regions of Italy and aim to amaze readers with their diverse palette of tastes. He includes several ideas for soups, which may be lesser known in America but constitute what he believes to be the heart and soul of Italian country cooking. Each recipe comes with the story of its origin and has been written to accommodate the realities of American kitchens and grocery stores.

With 10 books to his name and more than 950,000 copies sold, Famularo aims for his cookbooks to be widely known for the quality of their recipes. He has taught Italian cooking in a number of venues and drawn positive reviews for his classes. Full of food stories, “Viva La Cucina Italiana” is a cookbook that will surprise readers with its sweep through Italy’s many regional cooking styles.

“Viva La Cucina Italiana: Long Live the Italian Cooking, Over 300 Wonderful Recipes from the North, Central, and South of Italy” is available for sale online in paperback and Kindle formats at Amazon.com and other channels.
