Undoubtedly one of the world's best-loved cuisines, Italian cooking is characterised by a generosity that informs every recipe, whether it's a simple tomato and herb sauce for pasta, the tenderest of veal dishes or an extravagantly creamy dessert cake. Great Italian draws on favourite recipes from every region of the country to bring you Italian cooking at its delicious best.

Italian food, with all of its wonderful flavours and colours has been embraced wholeheartedly in this country; it so suits our climate, lifestyle and the way we like to eat and share food with friends and family. All of the classic recipes are here along with some delicious surprises. This is a great book for the novice or experienced cook. There is information on pasta and some of the more common ingredients used in Italian cooking, as well as a chart to help with the correct pronunciations. Each recipe has been developed and triple-tested by the famous Australian Women's Weekly Test Kitchen to meet the culinary standards readers have come to expect.
