Bring the joy of Italian cooking to your kitchen with 100 classic and incredibly delicious Italian family favorites, from the star of Laura in the Kitchen.When Laura Vitale moved to the United States from her native Italy as a teenager, she was homesick—not just for her family, but for her beloved nonna’s cooking. The slow-cooked Sunday sauces loaded with pork ribs and tender braised beef (and plenty of red wine), the quick pan-fried breaded chicken cutlets destined to be Parmesan’d, the frittata de maccheroni that she’d tuck in a knapsack for beachside picnics . . . and so began a quest to re-create Nonna’s delicious legacy in Laura’s New Jersey kitchen. Ever since, Laura has spent countless hours on the phone with Nonna to learn her secrets for the crispiest fried Cacio e Pepe Aranini, Zia Mimma’s Focaccia Barese (mashed potatoes are the key to its fluffy texture), decadent four-cheese baked ziti, a Sunday supper go-to of Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Herby Lemon Salsa, and a semolina cake to end all yellow cakes, topped with heaps of limoncello-soaked strawberries. Decades of Sunday suppers, holiday meals, and get-it-done-fast weeknight dinners have perfected the flavors and techniques that represent the essence of Laura’s Italy.

”En af Englands bedste krimiforfattere.” – Kristeligt DagbladDEN MØRKE ENGEL er tiende bind i Elly Griffiths’ populære krimiserie om arkæolog og knogleekspert Ruth Galloway, som har solgt over 160.000 eksemplarer i Danmark alene. Hver bog indeholder en selvstændig historie, så bøgerne kan læses uafhængigt af hinanden. Ruth Galloway bliver smigret, da hun modtager et brev fra den italienske arkæolog Dr. Angelo Morelli, som spørger hende om hjælp til sin forskning. Han har fundet nogle knogler i en lille italiensk bjergby, som han ikke kan klassificere. Det er flere år siden, Ruth har været på ferie, så selv en forretningsrejse er mere end velkommen!Ruth rejser til den lille bjergby Castello degli Angeli sammen med sin datter og sin veninde Shona. Her opdager hun en mørk hemmelighed om anden verdenskrig og modstandsbevægelsen. Til hendes store forbløffelse dukker kriminalkommissær Harry Nelson og hendes gode ven Cathbad pludselig op. Men der er ikke tid til at dvæle ved det glade gensyn, for de gamle knogler viser sig nemlig at hænge sammen med et nutidigt mord. Endnu en gang er Ruth en del af en mordefterforskning, og der er ingen tid at spilde – for nogen er tilsyneladende villig til at dræbe for at beskytte de hemmeligheder, der gemmer sig i Castello degli Angeli. ”Den mest interessante krimihelt lige nu … Hun er relaterbar og ægte og kan lægge krimipuslespil som ingen anden.” – Politiken ”En fremragende serie.” – THE GUARDIAN

An exciting account of the aerial battles fought by the USAAF's P38 Lightnings and the Jagdflieger's Bf 109Gs for dominance over North Africa and the Mediterranean.USAAF fighter pilots experienced a baptism of fire when flying the technically advanced but fragile P-38 Lightning over North Africa in the wake of 1942's Operation Torch. Their opponents were battle-hardened jagdflieger of the Jadgwaffe, flying the tried and tested Bf 109 in its very lastest Gustav iteration. Responsible primarily for escorting USAAF bombers attacking Afrika Korps installations in Tunisia, the P-38 units in North Africa had to develop effective tactics to defend the bombers against Luftwaffe fighter attacks. For several months the Lightning squadrons had to also cope with shortages of aircraft and spare parts, steady losses and a lack of replacement pilots. To survive, American aviators had to learn quickly. While it is difficult to definitively attribute victories in air combat, in the air battles over Tunisia and later over Sicily and Italy, the claims made by Lightning pilots were comparable to Luftwaffe claims for P-38s destroyed. Edward M. Young turns his attention to the bitterly fought air war in North Africa and the Mediterranean in 1942-43. Using original archival sources, official records and first-hand accounts from both USAAF and Luftwaffe veterans, as well as newly commissioned artwork and 50 carefully selected photographs from official and personal archives, this book sees two of the most iconic piston-engined fighters of their era pitted head-to-head for control of the skies in a key theatre of World War II.
