…and it’s fabulous - as is anything my Mario touches!  And for each download $1 is donated to your local America’s Second Harvest - the nation’s largest charitable hunger relief organization.  So if that won’t make you click here, well then i give up.

All recipes in The Celebrity Italian Table Cookbook were developed by star chef Mario Batali, based on favorite pasta dishes submitted by the celebrity contributors. While the celebrities all had favorite pasta dishes, they did not necessarily have the recipes to go along with them — so our star chef developed delicious new authentic Italian versions of these recipes inspired by the celebrities’ tastes. In addition, Batali includes an appetizer and dessert for each recipe for a complete three course meal.
