.Made in Italy: Food & Stories
City Travel Guides > Books > Italian
by: Giorgio Locatelli, Sheila Keating

2007-11
I bought this book on a whim whilst on holiday and now find myself reading it from cover to cover. The whole concept is to put the food and the chef in context; the book reads like no other cookery book I have come across. A whole range of ingredients are explained in short essays throughout the book (eg olives, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parmesan etc). The recipes are split into starters, soups, risotto, fish, meat, pasta and deserts. In amongst the essays and recipes are wonderful photographs and short autobiographical vignettes from Locatelli.

I also have the excellent 'Sliver Spoon', but it is eclipsed by 'Made in Italy'. The former is a huge repository of recipes, listed in exhaustive detail. Locatelli's book on the other ... Read More:

.Italy: Sea to Sky - Food of the Islands, Coasts, Rivers, Mountains, Forests and Plains
City Travel Guides > Books > Italian
by: Ursula Ferrigno

May 15, 2003
I really like Ursula Ferrigno's style of cooking, and was really looking forward to this book after reading 'Truly Italian'. The recipes in this book look great, but there are a couple of typos (which are annoying but not that big a deal) and missing steps in some recipes (I've noticed two recipes so far where there are clearly some instructions missing). It should be said that you'll probably be able to overcome any mistakes and produce great food just as the recipe intended by using your intuition, but its disappointing that the book went into production in what feels like a half proof-read state.

.Antonio Carluccio's Music and Menus from Italy: Great Italian Arias, Classic Italian Recipes
City Travel Guides > Books > Italian
by: Antonio Carluccio

April 25, 1996
Antonio Carluccio is has written so many cook books. The addition of the music with this one is just adding to the enjoyment of being able to listen to the romance of Italy whilst creating the most delicious meals. The only thing that makes this book a little disapointing is the recipies are in most Italian cook books. This book is great if you don't already have too many Italian cook books and you want to feel the pasion of Italy.

.The River Cafe Cookbook: Bk. 2
City Travel Guides > Books > Italian
by: Rose Gray, Ruth Rogers

May 01, 1997
To understand why the River Cafe books are as they are, one must first understand Italian cooking. It has more of a regional basis than any other european country, although France comes close. They use the best of the local produce.

What Ruth and Rosie provide are regional receipes that are authentic, although somewhat restaurant-ised. If a dish requires Chianti, then it will be Tuscan in origin, if it require Barolo then it will be Piedmontese. To be critical of this, is to fail to understand Italian cooking.

This is not a book that panders to the "what can I get in the supermarket" crowd. This is not "chicken italiano" with some tomatoes and a few herbs russled up in 5 minutes.

The receipes are superb, this ... Read More:
