Bocca di Lupo is an Italian trattoria with an international reputation.

Organized by food group (pasta, soups, stews, roasts, etc.), with over 200 recipes, this book has been designed by the renowned Caz Hildebrand, best known for her work on Nigella Lawsons books. It includes 250 sumptuous photographs of Italy and Kenedys delectable dishes. For fans of Andrew Carmellini, Mario Batali, the Frankies (Spuntino), and Giada de Laurentiis, for foodies who must have the next "it" chefs cookbook, and for lovers of great Italian cuisine, Bocca will be essential reading.
