Simple and Genuine Mamma Agata's cookbook

Simple and Genuine Mamma Agata's cookbook

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! the long anticipated culinary secrets of Mamma Agata are revealed! In what promises to be one of the most sought after Italian cookbooks of the century, Mamma invites you to stroll along side as she unveils the culinary secrets and recipes that have pleased the pallets of some of the world's most noted celebrities. Humphrey Bogart, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Susanna Agnelli and Federico Fellini are just a few that have relished the menus that "Baby Agata," as Bogart lovingly named her, created using genuinely pure and simple ingredients generated by her own garden.

Now you can create dishes filled with the same pleasing aroma and intense flavor that graces Mamma's kitchen. Browse through the many exquisite photographs as you anticipate the pleasure of creating Pasta e Fagioli or her world famous Torta al Limone for your own guests. Tempting recipes include: Lemon Cake, the Fried Pizza!, Lemon Chicken, Gnocchi with Dried Tomatoes, Roast Beef, Marmalades, Breads, and many more!

Mamma Agata will graciously walk you through her terraced gardens explaining how each ingredient is best used, which ingredients to purchase, and which to ignore. She'll show you, step-by-step, how to create mouth-watering menus that will transport your guests back to a time and place where friends were family, and each day was a reason to celebrate life!

But so much more than recipes! Listen to Mamma as she tells of Fred Astaire waltzing around the courtyard with her elderly mother after spaghetti alla puttanesca and serving the "naughty" Liz Taylor and her Richard Burton. Understand the very essence of Mamma's family and the incredible love that compelled them to humbly offer up everything they had to a community suffering the effects of the second world war.

Unbridled passion and untold sacrifices. Genuine love and inexplicable joy. Elegante Semplicità. Elegant simplicity, indeed.
