Product Description
Nick Stellino revels in his love of good food and infuses each new book with the kind of zest for living that has become the hallmark of his television shows and personal appearances.This all-new collection is no exception, with more than one hundred recipes celebrating the quintessential Italian comfort foods that have such enduring and universal appeal.

Yet this is more than just a sampling of Italian classics.Nick's recipes for pizza, pasta, and panini are imaginative and contemporary interpretations.He enlivens traditional pizzas-baked, fried, or stuffed-with unusual ingredients and makes pasta from scratch as simple as 1-2-3. And in Nick's hands, easy-to-make sandwiches and breads, for which Italy is famous, become works of art.

Nick Stellino's Passione speaks as much to the heart as it does to the taste buds.It draws on the rich culinary history of Nick's native Italy, shares the secrets of Italian home cooks, and features unique touches that could only come from this charismatic personality. ... Read more

Wow!
I own all of Nick Stellino's books but had used this one least b/c of my fear of pasta, pizza, and panini--in other words, the ever-dreaded carbos! But it's fall now, and I was ready to throw my fear of carbo-loading to the wind...first stop, PIZZA.Today was my 'maiden voyage,' (and I had hoped it wouldn't end up like that of the Titanic!).I couldn't believe what smooth sailing it was.Nick gives alternate kneading methods, by hand or mixer--I chose the easy way out!I made enough dough for four 12" pizzas. (I got carried away with myself b/c it took no time or effort at all).Didn't have mozzerella to make pizza, so Nick conveniently had flatbread recipes--and that was where I began.With some fresh rosemary, garlic, a hint of red pepper,a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and olive oil, it was so simple and came out of the oven looking like...well, bread!Like it was supposed to...not a 'wannabe,' but the real thing.I impressed myself, I must say. I'll make it for a dinner I'm planning to give next weekend. Dough is easily refrigerated or frozen to use whenever.Another pleasant surprise--Nick tells you how to make pizza sauce, no need to buy it--using canned, jarred, or homemade as a base, then adding a few extra ingredients, blending in processor, done.That's another item crossed off my pizza grocery list. It was like he was leading me by the hand.I am so glad I had this book in my kitchen library.I'm getting ready to dive into pasta, and I know I'll be using this book again. ... Read more

For Locals and Visitors, Alike
Informative and interesting guide to local geography.Much more than a tourist guide for kids, this points out local attractions plus a bit of history and legend. Attractive captioned illustrations enliven each page and at times add a touch of humour.Some of the vocabulary may be difficult for youngsters, but the format lends itself to reading aloud.Ms Kaupuiki also includes a glossary and pronunciation guide for many of the Hawaiian words, although it seems to be taken for granted that readers will know that Peter and his dog are wearing helmets that ancient Hawaiian warriors wore, though why they wear them, I don`t know (because he is skateboarding?)I grew up in Hawaii, with local history lessons and all, but even I learned a thing or two from Peter Panini. My two boys enjoy hearing about places they know, as well as finding out about the other islands and some basic history and lore.I wonder if other states have as interesting geography books for kids about their region. ...

Product Description
Inspired by Bhartrhari's and Wittgenstein's non-atomistic views, Pace Panini refuses to be intimidated by what are seen as the triumphs of Paninian and neo-Paninian approaches to morphology. It takes the notion of 'word-based morphology' seriously, and presents a radically a-morphous morphology in which all morphological relationships are captured in a uniform manner, and without the benefit of Paninian constructs such as 'root,' 'stem,' and 'morpheme' or devices such as 'levels' and 'strata.' ...
