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

Product Description
‘No one has written better or with more love of their subject, about the joy of food, its preparation and the sharing of that joy with one’s fellows’ – Daily Telegraph When ITALIAN FOOD was first published, the sort of ingredients Elizabeth Davidwas writing about were almost unobtainable in England and many of the dishes unknown. Since then the English have undergone a revolution in their eating habits, due in no small part to Mrs David, and this book in particular has been an inspiration to a generation of cooks. In it, Mrs David conveys all the richness, colour and variety of a remarkable cooking tradition with the sparkling erudition and excitement that make her books unforgettable.

About the Author
Elizabeth David’s first book, MEDITERRANEAN FOOD appeared in 1950 and along with her subsequent books changed the face of cookery in England. By 1964 her first five books were in Penguin paperback, accessible to a new generation who no longer had difficulty buying garlic, saffron, basil, olives, aubergines, fresh figs or apricots and who found Elizabeth David’s philosophy of simplicity, authenticity, knowledge and care to their liking. She died in 1992.
