"I have never stopped wishing I could cook just like [Revsin] does every night of the week."
—Molly O'Neill, host of the PBS series Great Food and author of the New York Cookbook

If you love Italian food, you probably think that you have to spend an entire Sunday afternoon in the kitchen—simmering, stirring, roasting, and braising—to get a richly flavored meal on the table in time for dinner. The Simpler The Better: Sensational Italian Meals is just the book to prove you wrong. Author Leslie Revsin helps you put irresistible Italian meals on the table in under an hour—and often in less than thirty minutes. The authentic but easy-to-find ingredients are kept to a minimum as well, so you may not have to look any further than your own kitchen pantry to start cooking with style.

Revsin celebrates the fresh flavors of Italian cooking with dishes that are special enough for entertaining, but easy enough for any night of the week, from appealing antipasti like Roasted Eggplant Bruschetta to distinctive main courses like Chicken Breasts with Pancetta and Sage.

The recipes are packed with valuable hints: simple tips that explain an ingredient or technique, variations, and "dress it up" ideas that add inspired flourishes to already terrific dishes.
