Overview

In her New York Times bestseller Everyday Italian, Giada De Laurentiis introduced us to the simple, fresh flavors of her native Italian cuisine. Now, America’s favorite Italian cook is back with a new batch of simple, delicious recipes geared toward family meals—Italian style.

These unpretentious and delicious meals are at the center of some of Giada’s warmest memories of sitting around the table with her family, passing bowls of wonderful food, and laughing over old times. Recipes for soups like Escarole and Bean and hearty sandwiches such as the classic Italian Muffuletta make casual, easy suppers, while one-pot dinners like Giada’s Chicken Vesuvio and Veal Stew with Cipollini Onions are just as simple but elegant enough for company. You’ll also find recipes for holiday favorites you’ll be tempted to make all year round, including Easter Pie, Turkey and Ciabatta Stuffing with Chestnuts and Pancetta, and Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce.

Giada’s Family Dinners celebrates the fun of family meals with photographs of Giada’s real-life family and friends as well as the wonderful dishes she shares with them in her kitchen. Suggested menus help you put together a family-style meal for any occasion, from informal to festive.

The heart of Italian cooking is the home, and Giada’s Family Dinners—full of fantastic recipes that require a minimum of fuss to prepare—invites you to treat everyone like a member of the family.

Nothing is more important than family. Bring yours to the table with Giada’s unpretentious, authentic, down-home Italian cooking!

• SOUPS AND SANDWICHES
• ITALIAN SALADS AND SIDES
• EVERYDAY FAMILY ENTREES
• THE ITALIAN GRILL
• FAMILY-STYLE PASTA
• FAMILY-STYLE GET-TOGETHERS
• ITALIAN FAMILY FEASTS

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Giada De Laurentiis was a Food Network star even before her Everyday Italian made her a New York Times-bestselling author. In Giada's Family Dinners, the young and glamorous chef applies her cooking style to everyday meals. The chapter titles tell it all: "Soups and Sandwiches," "Italian Salads and Sides," "Everyday Family Entrees," "The Italian Grill," "Family-Style Pasta," "Italian Family Feasts," "The Holidays," and "Family-Style Desserts."
Publishers Weekly
With her second cookbook, Food TV star De Laurentiis proves she's more than just a pretty face. Although the host of Everyday Italian is not hard to look at, and photos of her and her family cooking are scattered throughout, there are many more reasons to pick up this book. If classics like Escarole and Bean Soup, Chicken Marsala, and Basic Polenta aren't strong enough incentives, then perhaps modern interpretations such as Chicken Carbonara, Roasted Red Snapper with Parsley Vinaigrette, Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Swiss Chard and Pecorino Cheese, or Espresso Brownies will be. Like De Laurentiis's first, bestselling book (named after her show), this volume presents doable dishes, though there's an emphasis here on feeding a crowd (which doesn't mean small households can't make Italian Wedding Soup and freeze some for an easy weeknight supper). There are twists on Thanksgiving classics, including Turkey with Herbes de Provence and Citrus, Ciabatta Stuffing with Chestnuts and Pancetta, and Butternut Squash Lasagna as well as recipes for traditional Italian holiday foods like Easter Pie, Pizza Rustica, and Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce. Broader and more developed than Everyday Italian, De Laurentiis's second book nicely showcases her range and depth. (Apr.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
De Laurentiis is one of the Food Network's hottest new stars, with two series to her credit, and her first cookbook, Everyday Italian, was a best seller. Here are more easy recipes for simple meals, some designed to feed a crowd, others for more intimate gatherings-along with lots of photographs showing off De Laurentiis's glamorous look. Expect demand. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

    Who knew I could be a great Italian cook too?

    I have had this book for almost a year now and have tried about half of the recipes. I have yet to find one that my family, friends, or I don't like. I'm not a great cook, but this book makes me look like I am. This has the BEST tomato soup recipe I've ever had. The recipes are wonderful and the directions are very clear. There are recipes for every season and occasion in here!

    I finally picked up another of her delightful books

    Even though I come from a family who owned restaurants, recipes were tragically lost, causing me emptiness that has made me somewhat neglect cooking. It is a blessing that we can trust and turn to beautiful Giada¿s recipes for fresh, traditional cuisine that is delightfully simple to create and find ingredients for. She teaches how to make very impressive meals and the photos and presentation are wonderful! I feel very proud of myself and more complete preparing and sharing meals as fine as these with others.

    Giada hits another home-run with this one. I loved it as much, if not more than Everyday Italian. The recipes are super easy to follow and have always turned out great for me. The girls at work say that her recipe for Espresso Brownies are the best brownies they've ever tasted. I can't wait to try the rest of them and I'm planning on making every single recipe in the book. It's my new favorite bedtime reader!!
