Trattoria produces Italy's finest home cooking. These small, usually family-run eateries are responsible for some of the country's gutsiest yet healthy family food cooked with a generosity of spirit that is evident in the robustness of the dishes. This book contains Trattoria-style recipes which use good, honest, fresh ingredients.

Further Detail

This is a book of family food prepared simply and without fuss using good, honest, fresh ingredients. Armfuls of herbs, the freshest of fruit and vegetables, favourite fish and popular cuts of meat are cooked simply in casseroles, pasta sauces, risottos, roasts, bakes, puddings and cakes to create dishes fit for hungry bands of grown-ups and children. While some of the recipes are straight from Ursula's favourite trattoria, many are her own, inspired by some of the best meals she has eaten in trattoria all over Italy.
