Can anyone recommend a few good Italian baking/pastry books? (in English, I mean) I have Carol Field's The Italian Baker, the newish Biscotti by the American Academy in Rome Sustainable Food Project, and Gina de Palma's Dolce Italiano. Oh, and Sweet Maria's Italian Cookie Tray. TIA.

Nick Malgieri's Sweet Italian Desserts is excellent. It's the Italian dessert book I use most.

The Carol Field books and Sweet Maria (Maria Bruscino Sanchez) books are the ones I use the most.

Notice that I wrote books - both of them have several great titles.

Do you mean "Great Italian Desserts"? I'm trying to find a copy of it....looks like a wonderful book.
