Unfortunately, no cuisine has been more misinterpreted than Italy’s. Now, restaurateur Tony May, owner of New York City’s San Domenico restaurant, gives readers a comprehensive cookbook that celebrates Italy’s authentic gastronomic pleasures in a way that only an Italian, devoted to the cuisine of his native country, could imagine. Originally written for culinary professionals, Tony May’s Italian Cuisine has now been adapted for the home cook. May takes the reader into the kitchens of centuries of Italian cooks to show the real panorama of Italian food in all its glory.
