Everyone's Italian Cookbook



This the book for anyone who loves Italian food. Recipes that are easy and fast to cook .  We have both a paperback and a Kindle version.
This is not a book with a thousand recipes meant to impress the cookbook critics.  It´s a book for real people who have to cook for themselves and their family and friends.  There are a limited number of recipes selected for their ease of cooking, their good taste and the idea the you will actually want to cook them on a regular basis.
It’s interesting that many if not most Italian cooks have a very limited kitchen.  The huge gourmet American kitchen is only a dream for most Italians who usually live in small homes or apartments.  The so called kitchen corner is common, as are old stoves, single sinks and small refrigerators.  At times I am amazed at the quality of the meals they produce with such limited facilities.  For example during our first few years living in Italy we did not have an oven in our kitchen.  We have spent a good amount of time camping around Italy and Europe.  So circumstances and our own desire to cook good food has inspired us to learn to cook quickly and with limited facilities.   The recipes here are a result.  The recipes are limited to those that fit this criteria.  They include easy to follow instructions and each has a picture so the reader can see what the finished product should look like.
My goal is to present some recipes that follow the ideal that cooking well doesn’t have to be a burden that destroys our fun or interferes with our free time. Most of the recipes can be made quickly even in small kitchens.  Some are modified from the traditional Italian recipes, some completely original and all limited to their ease of cooking. 
Everyone´s Italian Cookbook is all about easy to prepare good food. It’s not so much about innovative new recipes but more about showing you how you can prepare tasty good meals with little time, even if you are a new cook, that have an Italian flavor. 
I also hope to give you a taste of the life style in Italy as we have enjoyed it over a few years.  You will notice a bit of an emphasis on camping as it has been a big part of our life and cooking experience.

Camp Cooking Italian Style


This is the book for every camper who wants to eat well but not spend too much time cooking.  We have both a paperback and a Kindle version.

It is a book born from the idea that good Italian food can be cooked even while camping, but it is not just for campers.  It has over 60 recipes carefully selected to be easy to cook, with easy to follow directions and pictures of every recipe cooked by me, Luisa and also our kids.  In fact it is even a good book for older kids learning to cook.

Italian recipes geared to camping and motor homing.  They are easy and fast to cook and don't require a lot of special ingredients or utensils.  Also included some bits about life and camping in Italy, and a pantry list that can be used as a shopping list.  There are paperback and kindle versions.  Both include pictures of every recipe and the kindle version has a clickable table of contents.

The book is based upon our own Italian cooking style, my wife is Italian and we live in Italy, and our travels by camper and tent camping all over Italy and many parts of Europe.  These are not fancy recipes but they are the ones we cook at home and in the camper on a regular basis.  It's kind of everyday Italian made easy.  It's the stuff you will want to eat often.
