More About This Book

Overview

In her hit Food Network show Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis shows you how to cook delicious, beautiful food in a flash. And here, in her long-awaited first book, she does the same-helps you put a fabulous dinner on the table tonight, for friends or just for the kids, with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of flavor. She makes it all look easy, because it is.

Everyday Italian is true to its title: the fresh, simple recipes are incredibly quick and accessible, and also utterly mouth-watering-perfect for everyday cooking. And the book is focused on the real-life considerations of what you actually have in your refrigerator and pantry (no mail-order ingredients here) and what you're in the mood for-whether a simply sauced pasta or a hearty family-friendly roast, these great recipes cover every contingency. So, for example, you'll find dishes that you can make solely from pantry ingredients, or those that transform lowly leftovers into exquisite entrées (including brilliant ideas for leftover pasta), and those that satisfy your yearning to have something sweet baking in the oven. There are 7 ways to make red sauce more interesting, 6 different preparations of the classic cutlet, 5 perfect pestos, 4 creative uses for prosciutto, 3 variations on basic polenta, 2 great steaks, and 1 sublime chocolate tiramisù-plus 100 other recipes that turn everyday ingredients into speedy but special dinners.

What's more, Everyday Italian is organized according to what type of food you want tonight-whether a soul-warming stew for Sunday supper, a quick sauté for a weeknight, or a baked pasta for potluck. These categories will help you figure out what to cook in an instant, with such choices as fresh-from-the-pantry appetizers, sauceless pastas, everyday roasts, and stuffed vegetables-whatever you're in the mood for, you'll be able to find a simple, delicious recipe for it here. That's the beauty of Italian home cooking, and that's what Giada De Laurentiis offers here-the essential recipes to make a great Italian dinner. Tonight.

Meet the Author

Giada De Laurentiis is the star of Everyday Italian on Food Network. She attended the Cordon Bleu in Paris, and then worked in a variety of Los Angeles restaurants, including Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, before starting her own catering and private-chef company, GDL Foods. The granddaughter of movie producer Dino De Laurentiis, she was born in Rome and grew up in Los Angeles, where she now lives. This is her first book.

Read an Excerpt

Spicy Tomato Sauce from Giada de Laurentiis's Everyday Italian
Makes about 1 quart;
Serves 4 over a pound of pasta as a main course

The sauce known as all’arrabbiata—or “in the angry style”—is made with hot red pepper flakes (and sometimes fresh chilies for an extra kick). I like to use the briny elements of olives and capers and skip the fresh chilies, adding depth to the spiciness rather than just more heat. Perfect with penne or rigatoni.

   • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
   • 1 small onion, minced
   • 2 garlic cloves, minced
   • 1/2 cup pitted black olives, coarsely chopped
   • 2 tablespoons drained capers, rinsed
   • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
   • Generous pinch of dried crushed red pepper flakes
   • 1 28-ounce can crushed Italian tomatoes

In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. When almost smoking, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the olives, capers, ½ teaspoon of salt, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and simmer until reduced slightly, about 20 minutes. Season the sauce with more salt to taste. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)

    Simple and Delicious!

    This cookbook has become a go-to staple in my busy household. We have tried about 75% of the recipes Giada presents and have found them all to be absolutely fantastic! The ingredients are simple and mostly fresh herbs and vegetables which really bring an amazing experience to our table. In addition the recipes are simple, no painstaking steps that intimidate novice cooks. My husband, who's not a big cook, can even follow the recipes with success! It makes him feel great and also takes the pressure off of me to always be the one to cook. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who's looking for a fresh new way to make some classic Italian fare.

    Excellent Everyday Fare

    Giada has hit the nail right on the head with this collection of recipes, most of which call for ingredients you probably already have in the pantry (or can easily find in your local supermarket). The techniques are simple, the dishes very straightforward--this really is the food Italians enjoy cooking and eating every day. Grazia, Giada!

    Giada's cookbooks

    Once I picked up this cook book I have used it over and over and over. I'm Italian and her recepies have tought me so much about Italian food. She is a awesome chef. I hope to keep seeing books from her. Oh and one more thing my 3 year old son just loves to watch her. And if I ever become pregnant with a girl, she would be named after Giada!

    Great

    I love this cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and not hard to understand like some of the chef's cookbooks I've used. I have made the reciped of Farfalle with turkey sausage, peas and mushrooms numerous times and there is never any left. I use just regular italian sausage and it is yummy.

    Great if you only want traditional Italian

    I love Giada de Laurentiis. She is a model chef, mother and wife and has the cutest style and her show "Everyday Italian."

    This cookbook is wonderful if you want to cook tradition Italian dishes. I love the tortellini in chicken broth.

    My one complaint in this book is that she doesn't bring anything contemporary into these dishes. I love anything traditional, but I wanted her cookbook to see a new twist on some of these everyday italian meals.

    I am very excited to try her desserts!!

    More food photos and better readability would help

    I bought the cookbook for myself after seeing Giada on tv. After looking at it and browsing the recipes I told my son and daughter-in-law I would send the book to them because the recipes are hard to read. Many are printed in color on color backgrounds. Then I tried one recipe and will now buy a second copy for myself. For the next printing they should make the recipes more readable: dark print on white paper please and more photos of the actual foods and a few less of Giada. She's beautiful but enough is enough. All in all it is a great cookbook and I'll have to put up with the difficult type in order to enjoy the food.

    It all works!

    My husband and I frequently cook out of this cookbook as we learned that everything tastes great. Most recipes are simple to prepare and use the same ingredients so it is easy to keep my kitchen stocked with things we'll most likely use 'shallots, garlic, canned tomatoes, etc.'

    Easy & Tasty Marinara

    I enjoy Giada's show and was relieved to find that her marinara sauce recipe was included in the book. I'm a beginner in the kitchen, but the first time I tried this particular recipe, everyone who tasted it said it was the best they'd ever had....Thank you, Giada! Also--I agree with the other readers who wish that more food photos were included--I find it helpful to see what the recipe should look like at the end--plus nice photographs of food enhance any cookbook collection. I may be a beginner as a cook, but I'm an experienced baker--she has wonderful dessert recipes on her show, but few were included in the book.

    Everything Italian.

    I don't know a lot about cooking and even less about Italian cooking and found this book a joy. Based on the Food Network's show by the same name, this cook book is a veritable cornucopia of Italian recipes that you can cook in an instant for just about anybody from the kids to your friends. Why buy this book? Who doesn't have a favorite Italian dish and by the time you try some of these recipes, you'll probably have some more!

    FAST, EASY AND SIMPLE - NOT TO MENTION GREAT TASTING

    Before this cookbook came out I had printed out most of Giada's recipes from food network. So I was really excited when this cookbook came out and she doesn't disappoint you. I love this cookbook! The recipe titles might scare you, but they really are easy and simple to make and they all taste great! Sorry Emeril, Giada's my favorite now!

    Thanks, Giada!

    I will be forever grateful to Giada for inspiring my husband to cook. After seeing her on the Today show, we picked up Everyday Italian. He has made several recipes and all have been great. Our favorite by far is Giada's marinara. Excellent! And, by the way, he happens to like the pictures (I wonder why...). If they get him to open the book, that's fine with me : )
