NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the Italian approach to healthful eating—where nothing is off the menu—with 100 delicious, superfood-packed recipes from New York Times bestselling author Giada De Laurentiis.

From the day Giada De Laurentiis started cooking professionally, her fundamental formula for making meals memorable has not changed: Good Cooking = Technique + Ingredients + Ambience. This same formula is the key to good health when you choose ingredients that promote wellness, cook them simply, and eat them joyfully. In her skillful hands, a pantry of Italian superfoods is the starting point to better health and longevity.

Super-Italian helps you stock your shelves with healthy Italian superfoods and create meals that are nutritionally dense, supportive of health, and still downright craveable. The superfoods featured and incorporated into every recipe are:

Olives + olive oil: Umbrian Chicken Stew with Green Olives, Kale Salsa Verde, and Grilled Swordfish with Olive Bagna Cauda
Beans + Legumes: Artichoke Dip with White Beans, Crunchy Roasted Butter Beans, and Creamy Cannellini Beans
Cruciferous vegetables: Winter Beans and Greens Soup, Orecchiette with Almond Pesto and Broccoli Rabe, and Green Gazpacho
Small fish: Caesar Aioli, Pasta Assassina, and Anchovy Pasta with Walnuts
Vinegar: Balsamic Chocolate Truffles, Grilled Endive Salad with Citrus and Pancetta, and Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola and Balsamic
Tomatoes: Sicilian Pesto, Tomatoes Gratinata, and Calabrian Pomodoro

By using carbs and fats mindfully and amplifying vegetables, lean proteins, and flavor-boosting superfoods at every meal, Giada shows how easy it is to eat like an Italian. With 100 stunning photographs of finished meals and their superfood components, Giada teaches us that when you start with truly excellent, minimally processed ingredients, simply prepared, you can have your pasta and eat it too!

Title: Great recipes
Review: I’m really enjoying this cookbook – I’ve made several items – including the Do it all Parmesan Dressing – and IT IS INCREDIBLE! I’ve also made the arugula pesto that is part of the Ziti with Roasted Garlic & Arugula Pesto – the pesto alone is incredibly yummy! I also appreciate just how simple most of the recipes are – it’s nice having great food that doesn’t require a lot of one off ingredients or lots of steps. Great job Giada!!!

Title: Giada does not Disappoint!
Review: I always review cookbooks by borrowing from the library to look at before buying. This cookbook was bought on the spot. The first section has a lot of great sauces. The pasta section looks inspiring. My book is already marked with stickies. I have followed Gilda’s career for many many years. Can’t wait to elevate while staying healthy!

Title: Another Awesome 😎 Cookbook by Guadalupe
Review: I gave it five stars, because it is well written and promotes high quality ingredients leading to better health. If this sounds expensive, then watch the portion size. We eat too much here, anyway! Also, she suggests substitutes in case ingredients can’t be found in places, but encourages the reader to use high quality ingredients which is the main new thing in this book. Read this book and start cooking real food and eat with your family and friends!

Title: SUPER, Super italian
Review: Maybe for this super good Italian cook.This was informative although if you’re super glad you don’t need a cookbook or another professional cook to tell you what to do. The recipes are a little too elevated for my liking.

Review: There are some lovely recipes and beautiful photography but I didn’t feel there was anything new. Building a book around certain ingredients is novel but restrictive. I much prefer her earlier books in comparison but I am a Giada fan so needed to have this one for my collection. Let’s see what I’m inspired to cook from it…
