Par Teresa Lust. 2020
"Moving from the Piedmont region in northern Italy to the Maremma in southern Tuscany, and then to Le Marche along…
the Adriatic coast, Teresa Lust interweaves portraits of the people who served as her culinary guides with cultural and natural history, in this charming exploration of authentic Italian cuisine. We learn how to prepare bagna cauda-a robust dipping sauce of anchovies, garlic, and olive oil-with Lust's relatives outside Torino. We make hand-stretched grissini, Italy's iconic breadstick, and learn the secrets of zabaione, a classic dessert of egg yolks, sugar, and marsala whisked into an ethereal foam. In the Tuscan village of Manciano we discover the story of acquacotta, a rustic "stone" soup that nourished generations of the area's shepherds and cowhands. And in the town of Camerano, an eighty-year-old woman reveals the art of hand-rolling pasta with a three-foot rolling pin. Underpinning Lust's travels is her journey from chef to cook, mirroring the fact that Italians have been masters of home cooking for generations, and remain a vibrant source of inspiration. Today, more and more people are rediscovering the pleasures of cooking at home, and Lust's account-and wonderfully delicious recipes-will help readers bring an Italian sensibility to their home tables." -- Dust jacketWords are not for hurting (Best behavior series)
