Tales of Risotto : Culinary Adventures from Villa D'Este

With stories that only a Villa d'Este insider of 35-years like Jean Salvadore could recount or unearth; luscious recipes that stem from illustrious visitors and incredible visits; and the creative work of the world-class imagination of an acknowledged top international cook like chef Luciano Parolari, this book is mouthwatering in more ways than one.

Jean Govoni Salvadore has been the public relations executive at Villa d’Este for over thirty-five years. Born in Paris and educated in London, she began her career working for Howard Hughes as Italy’s first female public relations executive at TWA. She now lives at Villa d’Este. Tales of Risotto is her fourth book on the famous resort.

Luciano Parolari, the "King of Risotto," has been executive chef at Villa d’Este for over thirty years, where he oversees the kitchen staff while also directing the resort’s renowned cooking school. He has served as a guest chef and demonstrator at such institutions as the Ritz-Carlton, United Nations, and the James Beard House. He lives in Cernobbio, Italy.
