BOOK REVIEW: Culinaria Italy – Pasta, Pesto, Passion by
Claudia Piras
L’arte della cucina italiana (where the art of cooking and
the art of living meet)....this Italian saying cannot be true enough. Italians
have love, art and food intertwined, ensnaring many a tourists heart for
returns to the Eternal City. This book gives us a fresh glimpse into Italy and
its food and culture.
The popularity of la
cucina italiana has never been greater. This is true of Italian cooking,
where traditional recipes are enjoying a renaissance. Ambitious food retailers,
excellent chefs, gastronomic experts, and whole armies of talented home cooks
have ensured that authentic Italian specialties are known and available far
beyond their country of origin.
All over Italy there are specialist producers dedicated to
traditional methods. Although the producers realize that theirs is a niche
product, they find that more and more consumers are looking for quality rather
than quantity. The Italian table presents us with a veritable feast.
Culinaria Italy will reveal the tales of our daily bread,
how to cheat the Devil with a cheese and many other amazing recipes and Italian
anecdotes related to food. It sure took a place in my heart and I’m sure this
book will take yours too.
