Dedication 5 INTRODUCTION Antonietta’s 2010 Classic Italian Cooking Recipe Book Antonietta Terrigno Osteria de Medici Ristorante Over the years I have produced numerous cookbooks but this is the very first time I have incorporated modern day technology with the time honoured traditional method of paper and ink. I believe this is a good thing. My computer ‘technician’ has explained the simplicity of clicking a button and having my recipes appear instantly instead of sifting through a cookbook looking for page numbers. In addition, when one is confronted with the need of, for instance, a Demi-Glace in the chosen recipe, specific words can be active links which transport one to my recipe for Demi-Glace. How time saving and convenient. I am excited to present this new form of cookbook to you and look forward to your response. Antonietta’s ANTONIETTA TERRIGNO 2010 Classic Italian Cooking is also available in print.
