The Italian Country Table – Home Cooking from Italy’s Farmhouse Kitchens (Lynne Rosetto Kasper)

Product Info

From the cover notes: “If you dream of Italy—and who does not?—be prepared to fall in love with this extraordinary cookbook.  And the miracle of The Italian Country Table is its ability to take us there.    And what a journey! You will never be as impatient to get into your kitchen as when you are planning a meal from this book. Two hundred recipes, personally collected from home cooks throughout the length and breadth of Italy, will keep calling you back. Kasper’s chapter on tomatoes and tomato sauces, a treasure by itself, will change the way you think about them—and cook them—forever. Her guide to buying and saucing pasta contains more useful facts than many books that devote themselves to pasta exclusively.   Kasper, the grandchild of Italian immigrants, describes herself as someone with a love of lingering “in places where life changes slowly.” This personal book abounds with stories of artisans, farmers and family. It is a portrait of Italian country life.” On offer is a 1999 hardback with dust jacket in very good condition (minor wear on dust jacket). Previously Owned
