Does this look familiar? Published in 1991 by Harper Collins, this spiral-bound, all-text kitchen staple looks almost as antique as the 1920s-era Boston Cooking School Cookbook I bought at the used bookstore upstate this summer. Inside, there's Chuck Steak Pizzaiola, Green Beans with Provolone Cheese, and Linguine with Knock-out Garlic Pesto. We've come a long way in our appreciation of Italian food since then.
Chuck picked it up downstairs in our package room. It has never been opened; there's not a drop of oil, smear of tomato paste or smidgeon of parsley anywhere in its 250 pages. Well, we'll fix that! When it comes to James Peterson's challenging KITCHEN SIMPLE and this, to be perfectly honest, I know which one will get the most use!
P.S. That's the Tritone Fountain in Rome in the photo above.
