Canal House Cooking's seasonal recipe series feature mouth-watering Italian cuisine from two James Beard Award–winning authors. The Canal House Cooking series is a seasonal collection of our favourite recipes—home cooking by home cooks. With a few exceptions, we use ingredients that are readily available and found in most markets in most towns throughout the United States. All the recipes are easy to prepare, all completely doable for the novice—and well worth it for the experienced cook. La Dolce Vita celebrates the bounty of fall and the festive holiday season with delicious Italian dishes, including traditional classics and our own Canal House inspirations. Pronto! is filled with seventy-seven delicious, fast, and easy Italian recipes, including antipasti, pizzas, pastas, grilled meats and fish, and simple Italian sweets. It's a collection that will make you want to roll up your sleeves, pour yourself a glass of Sangiovese, and start cooking!
