From the Inside Flap
nt, delightfully unconventional cookbook is a warm, personal collection of recipes and reminiscences of the author's native Tuscany and a guide to a spontaneous way of cooking based on good taste and common sense rather than rigid rules.
In A Tuscan in the Kitchen, Pino Luongo, the creator of New York's successful Il Cantinori restaurant, presents 140 of his favorite recipes, from soups and antipasti to salads and desserts. The recipes include such tempting dishes as trout with balsamic vinegar, peasant-style risotto made with sausage and peas, roasted quail with tarragon, spaghetti with sea bass sauce, radicchio and orange salad, and baked peaches stuffed with walnuts and chocolate. Interspersed throughout in a spirited narrative are tales of his adventures as well as stories of family celebrations and the local traditions of the people who live in Tuscany's dries, hill towns, and fishing ports.

A Tuscan in the Kitchen
Seller: Book Express (NZ), Shannon, New Zealand
Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 240 pages. Corner chewed off. Spine fadedChef Luongo has produced a hefty volume fragrant with stories of the lush Tuscan countryside and the simple, robust foods to be had there. (The photographs alon e are enough to make you want to move to Tuscany.) Luongo insists that his is pe asant fare that can be made in any Tuscan grandmother's kitchen with only a visi t to the market for perishable items. It's doubtful, however, that peasants ofte n eat pasta with black and white truffles. Luongo, who runs Il Cantinori restaur ant in New York City, also doesn't believe in giving measurements, oven temperat ures or many directions; he argues that cooking should be a creative endeavor. P rofessional chefs can work in this way, but for the less experienced, the though t of trying to make black rice stewed with cuttlefish is daunting. (Merely clean ing a cuttlefish is no job for amateurs.) However, Luongo's pasta recipes are si mpler, and most won't drive you into fiscal ruin.Copyright 1988 Reed Business In formation, Inc.
