&&★ “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.’”—Booklist, Starred Review

“An excellent volume describing specialties from each Italian region and how to create bakery-worthy cookies at home. Marchetti's easy-to-follow recipes will appeal to bakers of all levels.”—Library Journal

Italian Cookies: Authentic Recipes and Sweet Stories from Every Region is a beautiful, comprehensive guided tour of Italy’s regions by cookies and cookie stories. With recipes steeped in history and tradition, the book capitalizes on two major continuing food trends: our love of everything cookies and our love of everything Italian.

From Lombardy’s meringue-like Amaretti di Gallarate to Tuscany’s crunchy twice-baked Cantucci; Abruzzo’s rustic Pizzelle to Sardina’s fennel-scented Anicini, the reader will discover cookies for every taste and occasion. Directed to the home cook, the book will also include recipes for sweet essentials including candied citrus, Confettura di Amarena (sour cherries preserves), homemade almond (and hazelnut and pistachio) paste, and pasta frolla—the buttery pastry that forms the foundation of many Italian cookies. Sections on ingredients, equipment, and basic techniques make this book accessible to all.
