Mietta's Italian Family Recipes
With assistance from chef and former restaurateur, Silvana Palmira, Mietta presents over 185 recipes, covering soups, fish and seafood, meat and game, chicken, bread, as well as those dishes unique to the Italian dinner table - pasta, antipasto, risotto and sumptuous Italian desserts. Together Mietta and Silvana reveal the delights of the traditional Italian kitchen, showing how original Italian recipes can be re-interpreted to suit modern Australian lifestyles, ingredients and equipment. Mietta's Italian Family Recipes also provides a fascinating history of early Italian immigration.
