Bring the joy of Italian cooking to your kitchen with 100 classic and incredibly delicious Italian family favorites, from the star of Laura in the Kitchen.

When Laura Vitale moved to the United States from her native Italy as a teenager, she was homesick—not just for her family, but for her beloved nonna’s cooking. The slow-cooked Sunday sauces loaded with pork ribs and tender braised beef (and plenty of red wine), the quick pan-fried breaded chicken cutlets destined to be Parmesan’d, the frittata de maccheroni that she’d tuck in a knapsack for beachside picnics . . . and so began a quest to re-create Nonna’s delicious legacy in Laura’s New Jersey kitchen.
 
Ever since, Laura has spent countless hours on the phone with Nonna to learn her secrets for the crispiest fried Cacio e Pepe Aranini, Zia Mimma’s Focaccia Barese (mashed potatoes are the key to its fluffy texture), decadent four-cheese baked ziti, a Sunday supper go-to of Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Herby Lemon Salsa, and a semolina cake to end all yellow cakes, topped with heaps of limoncello-soaked strawberries. Decades of Sunday suppers, holiday meals, and get-it-done-fast weeknight dinners have perfected the flavors and techniques that represent the essence of Laura’s Italy.

Title: Best cookbook ever!
Review: I buy a lot of cookbooks and a lot of other things that I have never reviewed. This cookbook deserves a review. It’s by far one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever found. The recipes are easy to follow and in most cases simple. Finding authentic recipes from Italy can be difficult this cook not only gives you authentic recipes, but the story behind them as well. When I buy a cookbook, I usually cook one or two recipes and then never open it again. This one is already stained throughout because of usefulness and incredibly interesting and delicious recipes.

Title: Great pictures & layout, easy to follow
Review: The pages are good quality (glossy, not light paper) and almost every recipe has pictures. I like the forward, it has pantry staples, how to's, and kitchen tools. It's a nice reference. Overall, I like it. I only wish it had some more desserts.

Title: Beautiful
Review: This cookbook is absolutely beautiful! The dedication, the tips and tricks, the suggestions, the photography, and of course the recipes - are all so perfect! It's filled with so many classic Italian recipes, she's walks you through each step! I have Laura's first cookbook (which is also beautiful and amazing), but there is just something so special about this one. She hit it out of the park! I've been watching her on YouTube for over 7 years now and none of her recipes have ever failed me! Please grab this books, your won't regret it and you'll be supporting an amazing woman and her sweet family! It's BEYOND!

Title: Amazing!
Review: Oh my goodness! What am amazing cookbook. After years of loving Italian food I finally decided to order an Italian cookbook. After quite a search I got this one. After it arrived I intended to flip through it but ended up spending a couple of hours going though all of the wonderful recipes. Made the first one that night and my husband said it was so good he would have ordered it in a restaurant. Have made a number of different dishes since and each one seems to be better then the last. All the personal comments just make this book all the more wonderful. There are a few ingredients that I had to get that I don't usually stock but it has certainly been worth it. Made one dish with eggplant and after eyeing it suspiciously, my husband admitted he had never tasted eggplant before (can you imagine!) and he loved it. If you like to cook and eat even more, this cookbook is a must!

Title: Fantastic work, Laura!
Review: I've been a longtime OG subscriber to Laura's channel. Two terms that best describe Laura would be "reliable" and "consistent." Laura has consistently produced reliable recipes for her culinary videos throughout the years, and her new book continues her style of consistency and reliability. "At my Italian Table" is among the most exquisite books ever written. I don’t want to call it a recipe book, because it is everything in addition to being a recipe book. It is very beautiful, soulful, and full of heart. The recipes are really thoughtfully prepared and written and the illustrations make you feel like you are a part of her family. Overall extremely satisfied! Cin cin!

Title: Delicious , Easy, Simple
Review: I been following Laura on YouTube for about 8 years now and not ONCE has her recipes been a let down. I think this book is way more friendlier than her first one. I absolutely love this book. I literally sticky note about 90% of the book. It has everything from easy and delicious weekday dinners to more time consuming recipes that you would have a blast doing on the weekend. I was so afraid to make bread specially focaccia bread and it came out delicious and beautiful! Trust me get this book. It's lovely, detailed and each recipe has a heart-warming memory behind it and authentic Italian recipes.

Review: I absolutely enjoyed reading the book. I feel like she really succeeded at creating an atmosphere and what a touching homage to Nonna. Cooking to me is more about the traditions, the lifestyle, what food means to people and how it represents them. This book was very rich in that sense. I made a few recipes and loved everything. The recipes are easy for someone who cooks regularly. The quality of the ingredients play a huge part in the simple recipes. What is common food in Italy can be pricy in Canada but the beautiful recipes can make you travel to Italy and it’s always cheaper than restaurants. One of my favourite recipe book. Highly recommend!

Review: I did not know anything about Laura Vitale before I came across this book and now I'm in love with her. Her recipes are simple, but tasty and not out of reach of anyone who wants to cook good authentic Italian food. Every single page you open you want to cook. There are no ingredients that are hard to source. Majority of them being from your local supermarket or deli. I do menus from my cookbooks for a week at a time and she is definitely up the top of the list of books to cook from. Photos are enticing and the recipes simple. If you want something to add to your collection, I can thoroughly recommend this book.

The recipes are fantastic and one of my favourite cook book features is pictures of each dish so I know exactly what I’m trying to make. Never disappointed with a Laura Vitale recipe!
