Reviews
Italian food's essence has always been its simplicity, as Wright demonstrates in his collection of uncomplicated recipes that could have originated in just about any trattoria. His pasta dishes combine just a few high-quality ingredients to dress whatever shape of noodle seems appropriate. Although some of the recipes call for unusual ingredients on the order of oregano buds, most of them require much more straightforward, easily available items. One can imagine going home even after a hard day's work and whipping up a bowl of spaghetti with sausage, tomato, and ricotta sauce or fettuccini with ham and goat cheese sauce. No longer need cooks rely on bottled or canned pasta sauces. Main courses hew to equally simple standards, and Wright shows how even simple fish can taste like expensive shellfish when properly handled. Mark Knoblauch
The author of Grill Italian (LJ 2/15/96) presents more of the recipes he cooks for family and friends, the majority of them pasta dishes, although there is a chapter on antipasti and "other little foods" and some other light main courses. These are casual dishes, often more Italian in spirit than strictly authentic; the headnotes and sidebars, however, include lots of information on Italian cooking and ingredients. Italian cookbooks abound, but if you can use another "quick and easy" one, Wright's offers a nice assortment of recipes.
