The Way Italy Eats: Recipes and Rituals from the Everyday Italian Home: A Cookbook

Product Description

Why does your Italian cooking never taste the way it did in Italy?Because the version sold abroad isn't the one Italians eat at home. The realthing is smaller and simpler: modest courses instead of one enormous plate,a short pantry, and a handful of rules nobody in Italy writes down — becauseeverybody there already knows them.This book writes them down. Eighty home recipes, arranged the way food actuallyarrives at an Italian table, each one ending with the single detail that decideswhether it works.For cooks who want fewer ingredients and better ones, and who would ratherunderstand a kitchen than collect recipes from it.Inside:80 recipes, from a five-minute breakfast to the dishes that appear twice a yearNine parts following a real Italian meal, not a restaurant menuA note after every recipe — the detail cookbooks leave outA pantry chapter: what to buy well, and what to skipGrams and millilitres first, cups and ounces in bracketsA whole chapter on leftovers, because nothing is thrown awayYou don't need technique, and you don't need an Italian grandmother. You needa short shopping list and someone to explain the rules.
