Description
Simply Italian (New edition) is a revised and updated version of the 2003 World Food Media Award winner Simply Italian. This wonderful collection of recipes reflects today's Italian home-style cooking, where recipes have originated from a traditional culture of home cooking, using seasonal ingredients put together with a minimum of fuss. There are recipes for antipasto and soup, seafood, chicken and red meat dishes, pasta and risotto, vegetables, pizza, desserts and drinks. With useful hints and tips and details on ingredients and serving, plus extensive step-by-step photograph sections outlining a great variety of techniques, this is a wonderful resource. Italy is historically divided into different regions, each with its own distinctive cuisine. Over time, Italian cooking has been influenced by the arrival of the spice traders of the Orient and the invading Greeks and Saracens, as well as the country's close proximity to France and Austria. Simply Italian reflects the rich diversity of contemporary Italian cooking and provides information on the different regions and their specialities.
