Italians are taught from a young age to cherish the ingredients we cook
with, whether home grown or store bought. We have observed our nonnas
caring for these ingredients with passion and knowledge, and turning
them into meals we will never stop craving or recreating.'
Silvia Colloca, shares the 100 recipes that will show you how to cook
like a true Italian, using the most humble of ingredients: end-of-summer
tomatoes, salty anchovies, vibrant greens, oozy burrata and many more.
These are the dishes made lovingly in homes around Italy every day, and
they are often brought to life with only a handful of ingredients and
the simplest equipment. Try silky handmade noodles, savory pies filled
with fresh ricotta and parmigiano, crispy fried seafood, or slow-cooked
ossobuco over saffron risotto. The Italian Home Cook is your essential
guide to shopping, cooking and eating like an Italian, and will help you
bring a little slice of Italy into your own home.
