Synopsis

With a unique voice, Laura Santtini combines the practical, magical, and delicious in a visually stunning guide to everyday Italian cooking. Santtini's approach to harvesting the power of umami (the savory component in cooking) will have ?flavor bombs” going off in the kitchen. ?Flavor bombs” are simple variations on classic recipes that produce unforgettable taste sensations: a sage leaf and slice of Parma ham give soul to bland veal scallopine, and the twist in melanzane alla parmigiana is generous layers of grated Parmesan and 100% cacao powder. Simple, original, and unexpected, this daring collection shows how to master the classics-and move beyond them to create something original.
