Carluccio’s Complete Italian Food

£8.44

Amazon. co. uk Review
Maestro Carluccio hits the spot again with Complete Italian Food. Despite the title, it is not a comprehensive encyclopedia–how could it be, at 320 pages?–but a personal sampling of Italian food as it is still produced by traditional methods using traditional skills and materials: “real Italian food, where it comes from and why it tastes the way it does”. Rather than work his way through the 20 regions of Italy, Carluccio has chosen to start with the foodstuffs themselves. A chapter is devoted to each category: Fish & Shellfish; Eggs, Poultry & Game; Fresh & Cured Meats and so on. Each contains an account of the place these foods hold in Italian culture and an A-Z of the most common individual ingredients, describing each briefly and noting differences in approach from region to region. A selection of recipes follows. It is with these that the book really rises to the heights. How does Carluccio do it? He seems to be able effortlessly to extract from the huge number of available recipes just those that will show up both the beauty of Italian food and its great range. The mushroom dishes are a good example of the deceptive simplicity at work here (fungi are a passion of Caluccio’s): Taglierini Pasta with White Truffle; Procini in Oil; Cured Mixed Wild Mushrooms; Baked Kid with Cardoncelli; Judas Ears Sauteed with Garlic and Pasley; Grilled Porcini Caps with Garlic. . . So it continues, contributing to a wonderfully judicious and informative book. –Robin Davidson

Italian Vegetarian Cooking

Product Description
The Italian diet is one of the healthiest in the world, and vegetables are an important part of that diet. In southern Italy, where meat was not usually available, the Italians prepared vegetarian food with great invention to form the simple, healthy tradition that has now been exported around the world. Emanuela Stucchi is one of a new generation of Italian cooks who are more health and weight conscious than their ancestors and are increasingly turning towards a vegetarian diet. This book takes a look at the richness of Italian vegetarianism, with its array of vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, herbs and seasonings. There are 150 recipes included, in sections covering antipasti, starters, main dishes, side dishes, desserts, breads and sauces. Practical advice is given, with suggestions for menu combinations. There are photographs of a selection of the finished dishes and of various ingredients.
