The Tiny Italian

TI Library - Fave cookbooks

Over the last 10 years I have built an amazing collection of Italian cookbooks that I am really proud of; both Italian and English written. There is nothing I love to do more than relax with a new edition, read it front to back like a novel while absorbing as much inspiration for my everyday home cooking. Sometimes, I get asked to advise on which Italian cookbook someone couldn’t live without. But its not always an easy question to answer as its really dependant on the individual and what they are looking for. Here I have grouped my favourites depending on the cook books general theme. I hope you find this useful and find your dream Italian cookbook.
