The introduction says: "This is not a romantic cookbook. We are not trying to tell you about how a little lady in a rustic Italian village cooks a particular dish. The reason is simple. You do not have that kind of kitchen nor do you have the romantic three days to cook the food. Rather, we want you to cook Italian style regularly, and that means that recipes need to be simplified for the American kitchen and table, but we don't believe that you have to give up a great deal in terms of taste."
