Good to know

How long do these take?

Half are done in about 32 minutes. The quickest is around 18 minutes and the longest about 65 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.

Are these authentic Italian recipes?

No, and we do not claim they are. These are dishes built on Italian ingredients and technique by the Delicious kitchen, which is why the pages say Italian-style rather than Italian. They are written to taste right and to work in a home kitchen, not to be a record of traditional cooking.

How many calories are in these?

Most land between 383 and 1045 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.

Do these come with a grocery list?

Yes. Any recipe here can be added to a grocery list that adds up quantities across everything you have chosen and sorts it by aisle, so two recipes needing onions become one line.
