ITALIAN COOKING ... what passion !!!

Italian cooking... what passion!!! is the title that best conveys the joy with which one savors good Italian cuisine. The recipes in this book are simple, fast and photographed without tricks to help the reader cook without problems; to understand a culture one must live it, and to appreciate the cuisine one must cook it. Cuisine is culture when one produces it, because man strives to create his own food and aspires to superimpose that which he produces over that which he gathers; it is culture when one prepares it, because man transforms the ingredients thanks to elaborative techniques and to fire; it is culture when one consumes it because man, although omnivore, does not eat anything, he selects his own food according to criteria tied to many factors and values, some of which assume symbolic worth. With this book, we wanted to let you all participate in that Italian Life Style in which Italian cuisine is an integral part...” (from the introduction by Paolo Villoresi, president of the Italian Culinary Institute, New York, U.S.A.)
