From the Inside Flap:

Over the years, the history and mythology of risotto have woven a delicious tale, though one thread is undeniably consistent: The risotto "invented" in northern Italy, and still the jewel in the culinary crown there today, is northern Italy's culinary masterpiece. And who better to provide a mouth-watering and luxurious look at this region's famous fare than the chef of northern Italy's most famous kitchen in tandem with its world-renowned observer of people and custom: Villa d'Este's executive chef Luciano Parolari and Villa d'Este's chronicler and historian, Jean Govoni Salvadore.

From famous personalities such as Frank Sinatra and Prince Edward to today's elite jet-setters like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, the Villa d'Este has had a history of wining and dining the upper echelon of society. Known for its superior service and private accommodations, this exclusive hotel caters to those who are able to afford such luxury - and by luxury, we also mean risotto.

In this deluxe presentation, complete with anecdotal accounts of special moments and people who have adored each recipe alongside lavish photography and artwork and mouth-watering recipes, this keepsake is more than just a cooking reference. Designed with the same attention to detail given to every dish that is served in the kitchen of Luciano Parolari, also known locally as "The King of Risotto," this book offers an opportunity to experience the same mouth-watering cuisine that is served to the rich and famous.

Now you, too, can savor the delicious food and luxuriate in the inside experience of those who have before you done so at the Villa d'Este - but in the comfort of your own home.
