Tradition is such an important
part of Italian cooking. The food I prepare is imbued with the memories of wonderful
Batali family dinners, usually on Sunday, when we would all gather around my
grandmother's table. These wonderful meals were always served in heaping portions
straight from the pot with equal parts food and love. I love this 6 Qt. Italian
Essentials Pot because it continues the tradition of these great dinners. Made
of sturdy cast iron and finished with enamel, this beautiful pot - which I expect
to hand down to my children - is not only the perfect vessel for cooking a hearty
stew or soup, but also makes a wonderful centerpiece when presented at the table.
I made dinner in this pot when I had one of the country's most famous chef's
over to dinner. It was such a treat to see his eyes widen when he saw the pot.
Of course, when I was invited over to his house for dinner recently, it was
very easy to choose a present. The only question was whether he would prefer
persimmon, espresso or crema! With each order, comes a sampling of wonderful
Italian recipes from my new cookbook "Molto Italiano". Soon you will
be thrilling your company with Short Ribs in Barolo or Chicken in the Style
of Canzano. Buon appetito, Mario Batali.
