“Francesca Montillo’s book expertly combines classic Italian recipes with easy-to-make dishes that appeal to vegans, vegetarians, and nut-free and gluten-free eaters. The dishes and storytelling peppered throughout the book are inspired by her time spent growing up in Italy, and now, being a tour guide for the country. Readers will enjoy the wide variety of dishes that require just a few, easy steps to maximize flavor with minimal ingredients. And I love her tips for how to store and use up ingredients to prevent waste. This book clearly demonstrates that cooking authentic, regional Italian dishes can be done in just 30 minutes!” ―Amelia Levin, food writer and author of 30-Minute Cooking for One: 85 No-Waste Recipes Made Easy
