This book is a celebration of Italian cooking that provides a wonderful introduction to the traditional ingredients, flavours and textures that this varied cuisine has to offer. The introduction explains the basics of Italy's culinary traditions and how they have been shaped by a focus on simple dishes and local produce. There are tips on buying and using ingredients, and on techniques and equipment. The second part of the book is a beautifully photographed recipe section, with 70 dishes from all over Italy in an illustrated step-by-step format. Combining traditional, regional favourites and contemporary classics, there are recipes for antipasti, soups, pasta and gnocchi dishes, risottos, polenta and pizza, fish and shellfish dishes, poultry and meat, a variety of vegetables and salads, as well as recipes for desserts and Italian home baking.
