? In her ninth cookbook, Marchetti presents 100 recipes showcasing the special Italian touch for turning the same basic ingredients (butter, olive oil, nuts, and sugar) into unique, delicate, and craveable bites. As with all Italian cooking and baking, lore is baked into each recipe, such as the anecdote Marchetti shares about the famous alpine butter—rich canestrelletti and occhi di bue (bull’s eye) jam sandwiches. Bakers will learn more about regional ingredients and their influence—like cornmeal from the Po valley, which makes for a lightly crunchy bite when mixed with wheat flour in paste di meliga and krumiri and adds a deep golden hue to the Veneto’s raisin-studded zaletti. Bakers will be inspired to make the nutty meringues called brutti ma buoni ("ugly but good cookies") and the biscotti of the country’s central and southern regions. Anginetti (orange and anise cookie knots with a citrus glaze) exemplify southern Italian, citrus-infused creativity, and a smattering of wine-infused biscotti shows off a talent for incorporating easy-to-find ingredients in a lightly sweet, post-meal treat. This book is a must for dedicated bakers, encouraging a focus on Mediterranean sweets and spices, with an emphasis on natural flavors inspired by the regional foods throughout "the Boot."
