Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. An Italian friend and neighbor gifted us a San Marzano tomato plant yesterday, saying his big brother raved about the fruit. The first recipe in this book, which I zipped through this afternoon, called for San Marzano tomatoes specifically. So many mouth watering recipes here. Loved the family stories. Mike's grandmother playing "the numbers" via a bookie in NY brought back memories of my Nana and mother doing the same in Boston. Highly recommend this cookbook.
I found the recipes to be excellent and the aromas of the meals cooking are always a treat. I will recommend the series to friends and associates. This book provides simple but delicious recipes. The eBook writer also shares many personal stories of his childhood throughout the book, which makes it a great, quick read. This is a "must have" for anyone that wants to cook Italian. One person found this helpful. I already made two of the dishes and loved them. Lots of seafood dishes that I've never tried too! If you like to read, and like cookbooks, you will like this book.
It is interesting and full of good recipes, although I don't think I wil use them, it's too much fuss.

I was looking for a dependable red sauce "gravy" recipe and found one in this book. It reminds me of my grandmother's recipe book. Lots of deliciousness here. Product was as described. I have nothing further to say but I guess I can't post until I hit the right number of words. A wonderfully practical Italian cookbook.
It also has good glimpses of family life. If you are lucky, you will be staying at the Punta Tragara, with a balcony overlooking the sea, no noise and a seagull that will try and steal your breakfast croissant. The Punta Tragara is a luxury hotel in the proper sense. It is elegant, discreet, spacious and utterly relaxing. There are two swimming pools, both in their own gardens, and if, like me, you are a total nutter, you can use the state-of-the-art gym - sleek, black and air-cooled, and that's just the attendant.
Here, you can have peace if you want it, and if you don't, you can go to Prada. Capri has three Prada shops, though I don't think there's a single outlet in Rochdale yet. All the designers are here, because the money comes here.
You don't have to spend yours, but it's just as entertaining watching other people spend theirs. On Capri, money comes out at night, after the last ferry has taken the last ice cream back to Sorrento. Miss a night here, and you miss a social zoo, where creatures of every kind are parading in a variety of expensive skins. My own idea of a good time is not too much of this, and I usually spend just a few days in Capri itself, and rent a villa for the rest of the time in AnaCapri - the village at the top of the mountain.
The bus that goes up and down from Capri to AnaCapri is a thuggish orange bullet that travels in ear-splitting second or life-threatening third. It is cheap, and packed with women carrying shopping in string bags. Annoy them - and that might include sitting down - and you will find what a lethal weapon a bag of onions can be. This is very Rochdale. Once in AnaCapri, all the trippers mill round the Piazza Monumentale, where the bus stops and where you can get real English tea. I tried to have some once, while waiting a long time for a delayed bus.
I spat it out and demanded to know how a tea bag could be made so foul. The owner was sanguine.

He spread his hands. To avoid these pitfalls, walk down the Via Orlandini and a strange thing happens; you will cross an invisible line: Cross the line and you go back in time. AnaCapri is still a proper Italian village, unspoilt and unselfconscious. This is the place to be. Every morning I get up and take my shopping trolley and go and bother the shopkeepers who teach me more Italian and tell me what the weather will be like. There's a fish shop, piles of vegetables, and a butcher's with a couple of girls with Sophia Loren hairdos and eye-makeup, who give me free mince for the stray cats.

My first purchase in AnaCapri is always mince. After that, it's a quick flit into the lovely church of San Antonio, where I can say a prayer for good fortune. Then I go to a little bar and have a fresh orange juice, the world's best macchiato and a slice of Torte Caprese.
Back at the villa, it is time for a swim. Capri swimming depends on what you want. You can swim for free at the Faro or the Blue Grotto, both good places for watching young Italians take all their clothes off, or you can pay for a place like Canzone Del Mare, or in Anacapri, the Nettuno, down at the Blue Grotto, where there are private pools as well as private sea access. For those who prefer to be entirely private - say Liz Hurley - the Capri Palace Hotel will rent you a suite with a pool entirely to yourself.
Like the Punta Tragara, it is a cool and splendid hotel and ideal for a long weekend if Capri town is not to your taste. Well, this is a holiday right? There has to be a little indulgence. Capri is spend or not spend, according to your taste.

There is infinite luxury here, but nothing to stop you cooking for yourself, eating cheaply and bathing off the rocks with your own beer in a cooler. And in the evening?

The Pizzeria Materita in the square at Anacapri uses a wood-fired oven. The wine is smooth and plentiful and the food is amazingly good. I would eat there every night if I didn't sometimes want to eat lunch overlooking the sea at Addio Riccio, a fish restaurant of such delight that after a morning's swimming followed by lobster, there is really only one way to spend the afternoon, and that is with someone you love. When I'm in Anacapri, I never regret being out of the fleshpots of Capri, but the exciting thing about this island is its combination of sophistication and simplicity.
