Fiamma

A fresh take on classic Italian cuisine "Michael White lived in Emilia-Romagna, speaks Italian, married an Italian, and definitely cooks Italian. The Fiamma cookbook reminds me that the simplest dishes I eat in Italy are always the best. These recipes capture that tangy simplicity and make me want to cook at home again and again." --Mario Batali "Outside of Italy, one of my favorite places for truly authentic Italian eats that can't be beat is, without question, Fiamma at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. Vegas is in a desert, so where does Michael come up with the best octopus ever? I'm not sure, but maybe I will find out in this book." --Rachael Ray
