Gourmet Italian Cookbooks at the Gilded Lily

Here at the Gilded Lily, we sell a lot of Italian foods: pastas, sauces, peppers, San Marzano tomatoes, and olive oils. To complement them, we also carry a nice variety of gourmet Italian cookbooks. Here are some that have recently arrived:

"Coming Home to Sicily: Seasonal Harvests and Cooking from Case Vecchie." Case Vecchie is Sicily's most venerated cooking school. This book is by its owner, Fabrizia Lanza. The book includes more than 100 of her family recipes. $30.

"Family Italian: Simple, Delicious Favorites Made to Share" is by Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo. He shares recipes for delicious soups, homemade pastas, rich risottos, frittatas, steak, roast chicken, and Italian desserts. $24.95.

Besides recipes for making classics like Margherita and Napolitana pizzas, "Pizza" from Sterling Publishing includes kid-friendly pizzas, gourmet pizzas with wild mushrooms and walnuts, and pizzas you can make super fast on rushed evenings. Just published in September, it sells for $14.95.

"Rustic Italian Food" is by acclaimed Philadelphia chef Marc Vetri. Recipes include sweet Fig and Chestnut Bread, rich Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi, savory Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, and fragrant Apple Fritters. $35.

"My Tuscan Kitchen: Seasonal Recipes from the Castello di Vicarello" presents recipes from a fairy-tale castle resort located in a previously unknown area of Tuscany called Maremma. Proprietor Aurora Berti arranged the cookbook by seasons. $14.98.

"Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy: A Feast of 175 Regional Recipes" is by beloved cook Lidia Bastianich. Lidia presents recipes from the little-known parts of Italy that she explores, including Liguria, Lombardy, Valle D'Aosta, Le Marche, and Umbria. $35.

We love this idea! "My Pizza" presents recipes for making no-knead pizza at home, easily! $27.50.

Foodie Friday in Early October

Aren't these mini pumpkin pie slice cookies adorable? They're by Sweet Sugarbelle.

Bakingdom created these ginger toffee cupcakes as a tribute to Harry Potter's "Hermione Granger." They have butterbeer frosting, naturally.

Imagine how good this Ham and apple butter panini would taste on a chilly autumn night, perhaps with a cold crisp apple cider to accompany it?

This recipe for Scones with Spiced Pineapple and Apples is from one of our very favorite food blogs, Raspberri Cupcakes.

Making this caramelized onion pizza with roasted cauliflower and red peppers sounds like a really good project for this weekend!

We're starting to get out our slow cookers and use them more often! Here's a delicious sounding recipe for slow cooker turkey pesto meatballs from The Comfort of Cooking.
