Crazy in the Kitchen: Food, Feuds, and Forgiveness in an Italian American Family by Louise DeSalvo
Book Description
With this stunning memoir of growing up in Italian-American New Jersey, Louise DeSalvo proves that your family's past is baked right into the bread you eat.
In Louise DeSalvo's family, in 1950s New Jersey, the kitchen becomes the site for fierce generational battle. As Louise's step-grandmother stubbornly recreates the domestic habits of her Southern Italian peasant upbringing, she clashes painfully with Louise's convenience-food-loving mother, who is set on total Americanization. Louise, meanwhile, dreams of the day when in her own kitchen she'll produce perfect fresh pasta or pan-seared pork chops with fennel. But as Louise grows up to indulge in the kind of amazing food her impoverished ancestors could never have imagined and travels to Italy herself, her adult discoveries give her new insight into the tensions of her childhood. In unearthing the oppressive conditions that led Southern Italians to emigrate en masse to the United States, gaining a subtler understanding of the struggles between her parents and their parents, and starting a more happily food-obsessed family of her own, Louise DeSalvo arrives at a fuller and more compassionate picture of her own roots. And, in the process, she reveals that our image of the festive and bounteous Italian-American kitchen may exist in part to mask a sometimes painful history.
Not a cookbook, but sounds interesting.

Dutch Oven! Tee hee!
Seriously, though, thanks for posting these! They all look awesome, especially the soup one. I love making soups in the winter!
I just posted a review of my favorite cookbook, too!
1Oh yay! I'll check it out!
2How sad. 53 clicks and 2 comments. After all the hard work I did on this blog.
3To be honest, I don't have a favourite cook book, here's why... I've always liked cooking, but never really got into it until I moved to Turkey and had to start making everything from scratch, not having any cookbooks, I mostly use the internet now to find recipes. However, these books look great, so the next time I'm in Canada, I'll pick some of them up.
4Aww good job Layla!
Those are just a few cookbooks from my vast collection. I'm a total cookbook
junkie! 
Sadly the ones I get the most use out of can't be found in the US.
I've also found a few recipes off the Internet but still I prefer to have a cookbook with gorgeous pictures in front of me.
