Review
If you love Italian food and big flavors, this is a great book. (Lucy Waverman The Globe and Mail )
Product Description
More than 100 great Italian recipes... using just one pot!
Celebrated chef Massimo Capra merges the ease of one-pot cooking with the splendid flavors of Italian cuisine in One Pot Italian Cooking.
Home cooks can now bring the famous dishes of a master chef into their own kitchens -- with all of the great tastes and surprisingly little of the fuss (or cleanup). From delicious rustic dishes to sublime crowd-pleasers, Capra introduces the gastronomy of his homeland.
The one-pot recipes include:
- Chestnut soup with porcini mushrooms
- White bean purée with truffle shavings
- Belgian endive and Roquefort
- Stuffed calamari with rice
- Balsamic-glazed lamb
- Braised goose with apple
- Asparagus and wild strawberry risotto
- Chocolate risotto.
Lively color photographs throughout the book capture Capra in the kitchen and the restaurant as he demonstrates techniques, explains ingredients, and shares his secrets and enthusiasm.
