Lorenza de' Medici takes her reader on a marvelous journey through twelve Italian regions, each renowned for its gastronomy, as she reveals the aristocratic type of cooking--cucina alto-borghese--that gives each locality its distinctive style. Among the 150 recipes, who would not be tempted by Costolette d'Agnello ai Capperi--lamb chops with mushrooms and caper sauce--or the Tuscan delights of Crostata di Pere al Cioccolata--a sublime pear and chocolate tart? But more than simply a cookbook, this is a personal and cultural history laced with family anecdotes and rich descriptions of her beloved homeland. Since her highly successful series on PBS television, Lorenza de' Medici's name in America has become virtually synonymous with Italian cooking. The author of twenty best-selling books, de' Medici also runs the prestigious cooking school The Villa Table at Badia a Coltibuono in Tuscany. She makes frequent radio and television appearances on both sides of the Atlantic. 176 pp 6 x 9 American measures
