Synopsis

In 'Tales of Risotto', Parolari and his co-author, renowned Villa d'Este Public Relations Director Jean Govoni Salvadore, reveal the recipes that motivate guests to return again and again. In over fifty original recipes, Parolari teaches amateur chefs to prepare the low-calorie and nutritious meals of northern Italy in their own kitchens. The dishes emphasise a healthy and balanced lifestyle - calling for light ingredients like olive oil, fresh vegetables and fish fillets - which can be adjusted for nearly any special dietary needs or restrictions. This luscious volume serves as a versatile and comprehensive guide to the most popular dish of northern Italy. The book begins with a basic lesson on the perfect technique for preparing risotto, and continues with a wide range of recipes appropriate for every occasion. But these chapters hold more than just recipes. They feature personal stories about guests' favourite dishes, and full-colour photographs of the breathtaking Lake Como scenery. Tales of Risotto is about more than food; it captures the full experience of one of the most enchanting resorts in the world.
