77. Culinaria Italy: Pasta, Pesto, Passion by Claudia Piras


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.
