About
the Book:
"A pared-down, workman-like approach to Italian
food... makes Simple Italian Food immensely appealing
and endlessly useful.... No tricks here, just brilliance." -The
New York Times
Perfectly pristine ingredients, combined sensibly and
cooked properly, are the unmistakable hallmarks of the
best Italian food. Chef Mario Batali has elevated these
simple principles to fine art, creating innovative new
fare that pays tribute to traditional Italian home cooking
in a distinctly modern way. More than 200 of his irresistible
recipes are gathered in this celebration of the flavors
and spirit of Italy.
Mario draws inspiration for his distinctive dishes from
the two "villages" that have left their stamps
on his cuisine: Borgo Capanne, the tiny hillside village
in Northern Italy where he lived and cooked for several
years, and New York's Greenwich Village, where he has
ready access to bountiful produce and outstanding artisan-made
products: his full-flavored, smartly presented fare combines
the best of both worlds. Here, he offers classic dishes
alongside his own enticing improvisations. Home cooks
can easily duplicate the clear, clean flavors and lively
presentations that are Mario's signature. |
