Al forno, in Italian, means baked in the oven. It's warming, it's easy, it's the sort of food everyone loves. Friendly enough for a casual meal - or elegant enough to have your dinner party guests smiling with anticipation. These dishes can often be prepared in advance, then rebaked just before serving, either from the refrigerator or thawed from the freezer.
This is the perfect book for cooks just beginning to fall in love with Italian food, as well as those who have loved it and cooked it all their lives.
