I have read through several of the reviews, and there are quite a few that point out that the recipes are authentic Italian recipes. I am fond of Boston’s North End so with all due respect am curious about one recipe in particular, Bolognese Sauce. After browning the meat and then adding tomatoes and other ingredients, the mixture cooks 10-15 minutes. I thought the sauce had good flavor, but it’s my understanding that when making Bolognese, it cooks for several hours. Any clarity is appreciated. I am happy to have the book because I enjoy having some recipes that are good but don’t require a ton of ingredients or time.

I only got to read through it quickly since I bought this cookbook for my granddaughter for Christmas. She has always loved baking but at 20 I figured she needed to have a good source for Italian cooking to reflect her heritage.Now I will have to buy a copy for me! It's a classic.

Best Cookbook I own
The revisions alone and how many times it's gone to press should speak for itself. I was given this cookbook years ago as a gift. My family has enjoyed many meals from it and have become staples in my weekly planning. When I have a need to give a gift to a younger person starting out with their own place or getting married I give this cookbook. You won't be disappointed!

great cooking, easy to follow
Went to school in the North End of Boston, I had to purchase this book. A lot of my "own" mother's recipes are in this book. Simple recipes, great cooking, easy to follow...you can make them your own with a little changing of some ingredients. Brings back many memories...Love the photos.

My husband has cooked numerous dishes from this book.His copy (4th edition) is well dog-eared with a many food stained pages from all the cooking that has been done from this book. We have the 4th & 5th editions and I bought him this 6th edition as he likes the cookbook so much.I have also bought this cookbook for many people.

No need to go out for Italian food!
The North End Italian Cookbook was highly recommended to me by a friend who happens to be Italian!!! She has a very old edition! I ordered one for me and one for my daughter! Great recipes and the majority of ingredients are easily purchased in any local grocery store.
