(More customer reviews)Viktorija Todorovska's cookbook is excellent for families!! I have three young children and, as such, time, simplicity of prep and healthy eating are a priority for us. The Puglian cookbook's recipes are simple (think 5 ingredients or so), healthful and flavorful--full of staples that reflect home-centered cooking focused on vegetables and olive oil (for Michael Pollan fans, the "mostly plants" rule is met easily here). Most ingredients are on hand or bought easily at the local produce store (with the exception of only one-or-two stand out recipes for special occasions). Especially see the Puglian Potatoes recipe! YUM! We just made this. Warning: if you're just flipping through the cookbook, you will look at the ingredients and recipes and think--hmmmm....there isn't much to this--can it be that good? And it is; it is! It's a cookbook that lets you get back to simple flavors and uncomplicated dishes--the kind you can throw together and really *taste* each flavor.
If you're interested in regional cooking and trying something new for your family, I think you'll enjoy this. Photographs are gorgeous (and realistic! Todorovska took them at her home without a stylist).

The cuisine of Puglia is famous for being among the best in Italy. Puglian food isdeeply rooted in the traditions of this southern Italian region, its geography, and its history as the breadbasket of Italy and the largest producer of olive oil. In this cookbook, beautifully illustrated with recipe and preparation photos as well as images from Puglia itself, first-time author Viktorija Todorovska (a Chicagoan who studied cooking at the famed Florentince culinary school Apicius) has created a memorable introduction to this unsung cuisine. Puglian cooking's two great benefits are of huge interest today: it's very simple, usually requiring little technique and basic prepartion, and it's incredibly healthful, as it's based largely on olive oil and fresh vegetables. Puglian cooking as Todorovska present it here respects the integrity and quality of the ingredients, which should be as fresh high quality as possible. The recipes in this cookbook are simple, the ingredients easy to find, and the dishes bursting of flavor. These are healthful, easy to prepare dishes that should appeal to everyone.
