Into the book
When making pasta, choose olive oil and butter.
When using ingredients rich in flavor, such as seafood, I don't necessarily add butter, but when using only one type of mushroom, I add a little butter.
Olive oil is very important for oil pasta, so we use extra virgin olive oil.

--- From "Cooking Note"

Ragu sauce is sometimes made with only beef, but it is richer and more tender when made with pork and mortadella ham.
You can use bacon instead of mortadella.
When using bacon, it is best to skim off the fat after it has cooled.
--- From "Italian Sauce"

One autumn, during a trip to Ferrara, the food my companions chose as the most delicious was, surprisingly, creamed carrots.
It was served as a side dish to pork tenderloin, and the harmony between the sweetness of the carrots and the smooth whipped cream was exquisite.

--- From "Cream Carrot"

If the potatoes are too cold, they won't mash well, and if they're too hot, the eggs will cook, so knead the dough while it's still warm.
When kneading gnocchi, it is important to use an appropriate amount of force because if you push too hard or make a lump, moisture will come out.
--- From "Gnocchi"

If you don't have pancetta, you can use bacon.
For carbonara, the mantecaré process, which involves lowering the temperature and shaking the pan to cream it, is important.
This way, it has a deep flavor without being overwhelming.
--- From "Carbonara"

After removing the frittata from the oven, let it cool slightly and it will shrink and easily fall out of the dish.
Cover the top with a plate and flip it over so that the potatoes rise to the top, allowing you to cut them into a smooth, attractive shape.
--- From "Potato Frittata"

The more times you boil the noodles, the tastier they become.
So, it's not easy to make delicious noodles at home.
Instead, try adding a little more salt or adding more vegetables.
Some people sprinkle Parmesan cheese on aglio olio, but the classic recipe doesn't include it.
--- From "Aglio Olio"

The secret to making octopus soft is to let it cool without removing it after boiling.
Seal the remaining octopus legs and store them in the freezer, then thaw them naturally before use.
If you defrost it in the microwave, it will become hard.
--- From "Octopus Salad"

Publisher's Review
From cozy grandmother's cooking to Michelin chef recipes
The pinnacle of home cooking worldwide: everything about Italian home cooking.


For nearly 20 years, I have been learning in Italian homes, in farmers' houses, and in chefs' kitchens.
Among the recipes, the menu that restaurant guests like,
We've selected and compiled recipes that our cooking class members have tried and admired.

Why Italian Home Cooking is Famous Worldwide
Easy! Delicious! Healthy!


When you eat Italian food, you can roughly tell what ingredients went into it.
This is because there are many dishes that bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients without complicated sauces or techniques.
Plus, it's healthy food.
It is for the same reason that the term “Italian home cooking” is used worldwide.
Italian food is easy to make at home, such as boiling noodles like we make kalguksu or stir-frying rice, mixing them in tomato sauce, or boiling rice and mixing in cheese.



Italian grandmother and friends' mother's food,
Secret know-how discovered at culinary schools and restaurants


The author, who majored in vocal music, lived in Italy for 13 years, and after returning to Korea, went on a food tour to Italy for about 10 years.
It contains recipes filled with the warm flavors of home cooking, such as my grandmother's gnocchi made by boiling and pounding potatoes, and my friend's mother's barley soup, as well as tips for cooking that I learned at cooking school and a Michelin restaurant.
The golden ratio of ragu sauce made by mixing beef, pork, and ham, boiling octopus until it melts in your mouth, cooking couscous without boiling it, and following the author's long-standing know-how in choosing butter, olive oil, and herbs will transform your home cooking.



They say there's braised pork neck in Italy too?
Pasta and risotto are the basics, along with meat and seafood dishes, side dishes, and desserts.


The Italian recipes in this book are diverse and informative, including not only pasta and risotto that come to mind when thinking of Italian food, but also main dishes made with seafood and meat, side dishes such as pickled eggplant and grilled peppers, and even Italian desserts you've always wanted to learn about, such as panna cotta, limoncello, and sorbetto.
Stout beer stew, bulgogi with cheese, and stir-fried spinach are all familiar yet new and easy to use.



Love is in one bowl, life is young
A story full of warmth in food


The author's food is filled with memories, such as the tiramisu that the landlady would make for him on the day he returned from his exams while studying abroad, the tortellini that was like dumpling soup made at neighborhood events, and the slow food soup made with broccoli.
Reading about the tastes of Sicily I experienced while living with Grandma Anna and the warm soup and comforting words that Aunt Paola used to make reminds me of the warmth of sharing homemade food.
This is the value of home cooking.
