Vicki Bennison's Pasta Grannies captures the time-perfected recipes and extraordinary wisdom of Italian grandmothers who've spent lifetimes turning flour, eggs, and love into dishes that taste like home.

Nine regional styles and 75 recipes prove why Tony Gemignani's The Pizza Bible turns your home oven into the one place you'll actually want to make dinner.

The Tucci Cookbook by Stanley Tucci and Francesco Tonelli gathers nearly 200 recipes that taste like growing up at an Italian family table, complete with wine pairings and the stories that made them matter.

The Tucci Table brings Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt's Italian roots, British wit, and American kitchen together in recipes that turn any dinner into a family affair.

Mastering Pizza insists that stop ordering pizza once you taste what your oven can actually do, and Marc Vetri and David Joachim prove it with doughs calibrated for every kitchen in America.
