Book Reviews of Cucina Classica: Maintaining a Tradition

Book Review: Not traditional at all
Summary: 3 Stars

this book/ recipes are AMERICAN-italian recipes, not traditional Italian recipes from Italy.

on top of that the recipes are very basic, and lack a lot of dishes, such as Lasagna with meat sauce ( only vegetable/ non meat ones are included). Lasagna recipes use Ricotta, which is not a traditional ingredient. Adding Ricotta is a american version.

Fetucchini Carbonara uses butter along with bacon, heavy cream and wine, a true italian recipe does not do this

all in all, this book is 3 stars- It's OK
definitely NOT true authentic Italian recipes.
