Signals: The Silver Spoon - English translation
1 recommendation
"I have always wanted to peek inside an Italian family's household on Christmas Eve to see what they dig into for the holidays. This cookbook won't give me an invite, but it will definitely help me plan the holiday dinner of my dreams . . . without having to first learn to read Italian. Salute !"
Exceptional Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
1 recommendation
"Please don't confuse this aged Balsamic vinegar of Modena with those found in the grocery store as they are nothing alike. Aged for a full 25 years for a sweeter, more delicate flavor, this balsamic vinegar makes a wonderful sorbet, dessert vinegar or dipping sauce. Aceto Balsamico Tradizional di Modena Extra Vecchio."

"I'm a huge garlic fan and so I love this gadget for quickly processing a lot of cloves all at once."
The Miracle of San Gennaro Tomatoes from Campania
1 recommendation
"Canned tomatoes? Who gives canned tomatoes as a gift? Well, even if they aren't part of an Italian Cooking Gift Basket, a couple of cans of San Marzano's imported from Campanie are a great gift for the Italian cook for making sauces."
All Clad Panini Pan with Press
1 recommendation
"An electric panini press is fine, but if you don't have storage or counter top space for the bulk of a machine, All Clad's Panini pan with Press will let you make delicious toasted panini filled with melted cheese right on your stovetop."
Ravioli Maker
1 recommendation
"You could cheat and buy wonton wrappers from the refrigerator case at the grocery store, but then you might as well buy pre-made ravioli, too. A 2" ravioli maker means you can make ravioli at home. This one comes with a rolling pin to cut the ravioli out."
Henry Watson's Large Garlic Cellar
1 recommendation
"We would never in our right minds ever recommend either a garlic peeler nor, God forbid, a garlic press, for a true cook would just smash those cloves with the side of large chef's knife and start mincing. However, a garlic CELLAR is a good thing to have to keep garlic fresh on the countertop. The terra cotta is dishwasher safe, and has large holes for ample ventilation."

Italian Cheese Sampler
2 recommendations
"There isn't an Italian meal that I know of that doesn't include cheese. The Italian Cheese sampler of Toma Piedmontese, Piave Vecchio, Mountain Gorgonzola and Pecorino Toscano is a great gift for the Italian cook, either to serve or to use in cooking."
Mario Batali 6-Quart Cast-Iron Pot

"These days, we might associate Mario Batali with regional Italian cuisine, but it was Marcella Hazan who brought it to us first. This book is a compilation of her first two books that teaches us that Italian food isnt just spaghetti and meatballs."
