This Is Sunday Dinner: 52 Seasonal Italian Menus

by Lisa Caponigri

Sunday dinner is back, with this collection of 52 five-course menus from Lisa Caponigri—and this time, she takes a seasonal approach, with authentic recipes from four iconic regions of Italy.

“Caponigri’s welcoming, accessible collection of Italian weekend recipes will be a boon to those preparing dinner for the entire family.” — Publishers Weekly 
 
In Whatever Happened to Sunday DInner? , Lisa Caponigri presented a year’s worth of delicious and authentic Italian menus for the entire family to enjoy. Now she’s back with another 52 dinners, but with a fresh new seasonal approach that reflects the cuisines of Piemonte (winter), Campania (spring), Sicily (summer), and Tuscany (fall). Throughout, Caponigri showcases Italy’s varied and abundant produce, from summery artichokes, apricots, figs, and the famous San Marzano tomato to hearty roasted meats and rich risottos to ward off the cold. The entire book brims with Lisa’s energy, her reminiscences of living in Italy, anecdotes about her family, and all the advice needed to get a spectacular Sunday dinner on the table— every Sunday of the year.

There are so many mistakes in this book I would not make anything if someone else paid for the ingredients, page 286, pasta al forno, the besciamella sauce, 1/4 cup butter, 1 cup all purpose flour, 2 cups whole milk - are we making glue here, no way is this right (another besciamella sauce on page 22 calls for 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup flour and 3 cups of whole milk, still to much flour, but why so different). Page 170, my nana's Sicilian fig cookies, picture of cookies actually look good, but instructions for assembly do not match cookie in picture. I could go on but I won't, just return this to the library with a warning.
