NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the Italian approach to healthful eating—where nothing is off the menu—with 100 delicious, superfood-packed recipes from New York Times bestselling author Giada De Laurentiis.
From the day Giada De Laurentiis started cooking professionally, her fundamental formula for making meals memorable has not changed: Good Cooking = Technique + Ingredients + Ambience. This same formula is the key to good health when you choose ingredients that promote wellness, cook them simply, and eat them joyfully. In her skillful hands, a pantry of Italian superfoods is the starting point to better health and longevity.
Super-Italian helps you stock your shelves with healthy Italian superfoods and create meals that are nutritionally dense, supportive of health, and still downright craveable. The superfoods featured and incorporated into every recipe are:
Olives + olive oil: Umbrian Chicken Stew with Green Olives, Kale Salsa Verde, and Grilled Swordfish with Olive Bagna Cauda
Beans + Legumes: Artichoke Dip with White Beans, Crunchy Roasted Butter Beans, and Creamy Cannellini Beans
Cruciferous vegetables: Winter Beans and Greens Soup, Orecchiette with Almond Pesto and Broccoli Rabe, and Green Gazpacho
Small fish: Caesar Aioli, Pasta Assassina, and Anchovy Pasta with Walnuts
Vinegar: Balsamic Chocolate Truffles, Grilled Endive Salad with Citrus and Pancetta, and Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola and Balsamic
Tomatoes: Sicilian Pesto, Tomatoes Gratinata, and Calabrian Pomodoro
By using carbs and fats mindfully and amplifying vegetables, lean proteins, and flavor-boosting superfoods at every meal, Giada shows how easy it is to eat like an Italian. With 100 stunning photographs of finished meals and their superfood components, Giada teaches us that when you start with truly excellent, minimally processed ingredients, simply prepared, you can have your pasta and eat it too!

Another Awesome ð Cookbook by Guadalupe
I gave it five stars, because it is well written and promotes high quality ingredients leading to better health. If this sounds expensive, then watch the portion size. We eat too much here, anyway! Also, she suggests substitutes in case ingredients canât be found in places, but encourages the reader to use high quality ingredients which is the main new thing in this book. Read this book and start cooking real food and eat with your family and friends!

Prep is pretty involved.
Recipies we have used are good. Prep time is rather lengthy.

Luscious
I was so excited when this cookbook was finally published! I have several of Giada’s cookbooks because her recipes are always good and easy to follow. Since purchasing this morning, I’ve been perusing it throughout the day and finally finished it this evening. This weekend, my plan is to invite several friends over for dinner to try out some of the recipes since they all sound so delicious! Her cookbooks have never been a disappointment!

Modern, Lightened-Up, Healthy, Italian Fare – NOT Familiar, Traditional, Italian-American Classics
This book delivers exactly what it advertises: indulgent recipes using Italy’s healthiest foods, which Giada dubs “superfoods”. I LOVED the 46 pages that precede the first recipe, because those pages include clear descriptions of why these chosen foods are healthy, and how to enjoy incorporating them into our everyday routines.The mouthwatering recipes are modern, lighter, California variations of real Italian (not Italian-American) dishes from many regions throughout Italy, north to south. Yes, many of the dishes and ingredients will be unfamiliar to many Americans. Quite a few of us will leap at the chance to learn new culinary tricks! Some, especially those seeking familiar Italian-American classics without the nutritional inspiration, will be disappointed. I absolutely love that Giada keeps challenging us to up our game. This is a substantively and visually delightful new cookbook.

SUPER, Super italian
Maybe for this super good Italian cook.This was informative although if you’re super glad you don’t need a cookbook or another professional cook to tell you what to do. The recipes are a little too elevated for my liking.

Sheâs back!
These are the kinds of recipes Iâve come to expect from Giada. They are typically very accessible, have a brightness to them with a spin, and tasty. It has been awhile since Iâve been excited about her cookbooks but Iâm glad to find one that reminds me why she was a go to for me. Iâve tried the chicken piccata meatballs, cauliflower zuppa toscana, and sheet pan lasagna.

Mr. A. J. Porter –
There are some lovely recipes and beautiful photography but I didnât feel there was anything new. Building a book around certain ingredients is novel but restrictive. I much prefer her earlier books in comparison but I am a Giada fan so needed to have this one for my collection. Letâs see what Iâm inspired to cook from itâ¦
