Cheese polenta, lime risotto, wild garlic pasta, vanilla chili hollandaise - and all veggie!  Who'd have thought that in those days when "vegetarian" still meant brown rice and lentil stew?  Today it's easy to do without meat & fish -- no problem with these recipes! Plus lots of basic information from A (adzuki bean) to Z (zucchini).

It's both a beautifully illustrated, recipe-filled cookbook and an armchair guide to Italy's several distinct culinary regions, from the Alpine Piedmont area in the north to the southern island of Sicily. A separate chapter for each of eight regions opens with a magnificent landscape photo on a two-page spread, followed by several photo-filled pages describing the region's people, their way of life, and locally-produced foods and wines. The rest of each chapter is devoted to the region's recipes--two dozen or more recipes per region--which are divided according to the Italian custom: Antipasti, Primi Piatti (first course), Secondi Piatti (second course), Contorni (vegetables, including salads), and Dolci (desserts). Complemented with photos for each prepared dish, recipes include a delightful pasta alle melanzane (pasta with eggplant) from the Abruzzi; agnello ai carciofi (lamb cooked with artichokes) from Tuscany; risotto alla pilota (a risotto with sausage) from Lombardy; and babï¿½ all' amaretto, a delectable example of dolci from Sicily, to cite just a few of this book's 220 dishes. The authors present wonderful ways to prepare and serve meats, fish, pasta, sauces, fruits, vegetables, soups, salads, and desserts, along with suggestions for regional wines that go perfectly with each delightful Italian meal.

Cooking Education & Reference

Basic Cooking and Baskic Baking served as solid foundations for learning how to cook and bake. Now, even more enjoyment, fun, and knowledge about trendy and classic cooking is possible. Italy epitomizes vivaciousness--la dolce vita--and its cooking is probably the best-loved national cuisine in the world. The first section of this book offers basic how-to's on shopping for key ingredients (like pasta, cheese, balsamic vinegar, espresso, and wine), explains these necessaries, and lists Italian souvenirs that will infuse any home with "that Italian feeling." The recipe section is divided into starters, snacks and salads, pasta, risotto, pizza and polenta, soups and vegetables, fish and meat, and dolci. But this is not a simple collection of ethnic recipes; it is a new approach to Italian cooking and an eclectic group of meals that will well serve any party or gathering, big or small.
