DOLCI ITALIANO - DESSERTS FROM THE BABBO KITCHEN
BY GINA DePALMA

Just as Mario Batali has changed the way we eat, cook, and think about the savory foods of Italy, Gina DePalma, a chef in Babbo’s pastry kitchen from the beginning and now the author of DOLCE ITALIANO: Desserts from the Babbo Kitchen (W.W. Norton & Co, 2007; $35.00 hardcover), is revolutionizing the concept of Italian desserts. Gina’s devotion to fresh ingredients, simple yet elegant style, flawless technique, and uniquely Italian sensibility make Dolce Italiano a necessity for anyone who loves cooking and eating Italian food—and for those home cooks who, like Gina, lie awake at night in bed dreaming of the perfect dessert.
