About this title

Review:

Covering food from roadside gelaterias through to trattorias, pizzerias and restaurants, this is a glorious celebration of one of the world's most popular cuisines. Now incorporated into everyday English cooking as a means of a quick, easy-to-make meal, the pasta displayed here bears no resemblance to the jarred pasta sauces displayed in supermarkets. Thick and creamy carbonara, hot and spicy amatriciana, meaty ragu - all presented with original Italian recipes, using fresh ingredients for the tastiest possible results. Pizzas, crostinis, gelatos, fish and meat, the entire range of cooking from the North, South, East and West of Italy, presented in a book that is so attractively illustrated you will want to sit and read it just as much as cook the recipes. Each section is interspersed with informational snippets of particular Italian specialities - formaggi, salami and prosciutto, campari and cinzano, turning the book into a colourful, culinary travel guide to one of Europe's most gastronomically famous countries. - Lucy Watson
