Download or read book A Taste of Tuscany written by Leslie Forbes and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The mention of Tuscany evokes vivid images: sinuous dark cypresses leading to grand Renaissance palaces, vineyards disappearing into a hazy horizon, dusty tracks through medieval villages that end in hilltop olive groves, earthenware jugs full of good red wine, plates of tender home made pasta and markets overflowing with bright-colored vegetables. Leslie Forbes, artist and cook, set off for Tuscany last year, sketchbook and pencil in one hand and knife and fork in the other. She was captivated by the rich and diverse landscape and, in particular, the stupendous food. Her sharp eye and appetite led her to cantinas, bars, wayside stalls, markets, farms, shops and restaurants; wherever good food and wine were to be found. 'A Taste of Tuscany' is the result. It is Leslie's collection of authentic recipes punctuated by her observations, conversations and local gossip and stunningly illustrated by her vibrant drawings. More than just a cookbook, 'A Taste of Tuscany' is the record of a culinary odyssey through the heart of Italy."--

Download or read book A Tuscan in the Kitchen written by Pino Luongo and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 1988 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exuberant, delightfully unconventional cookbook is a warm, personal collection of recipes and reminiscences of the author's native Tuscany and a guide to a spontaneous way of cooking based on good taste and common sense rather than rigid rules. In A Tuscan in the Kitchen, Pino Luongo, the creator of New York's successful Il Cantinori restaurant, presents 140 of his favorite recipes, from soups and antipasti to salads and desserts. The recipes include such tempting dishes as trout with balsamic vinegar, peasant-style risotto made with sausage and peas, roasted quail with tarragon, spaghetti with sea bass sauce, radicchio and orange salad, and baked peaches stuffed with walnuts and chocolate. Interspersed throughout in a spirited narrative are tales of his adventures as well as stories of family celebrations and the local traditions of the people who live in Tuscany's dries, hill towns, and fishing ports. Mr. Luongo shows us how to cook the Tuscan way, using a small repertoire of ingredients and a few basic techniques to create dishes that taste delicious and can be endlessly varied. The ingredients in each recipe are broken down into a three-part list: pantry staples, like olive oil, pasta, and canned plum tomatoes; cold storage items such as eggs, butter, and cheese; and a handful of market foods that need to be purchased fresh. In the recipes, he gives basic instructions and guidelines for making each dish but does not give exact quantities. For instance, a recipe for tagliatelle with fresh garden vegetables suggests a variety of vegetables and herbs; the cook decides how many and how much of each to use, according to taste. Mr. Luongo teaches us the kind of flexibilitygood cookshave always practiced and encourages us to create our own personal style of cooking -- and have a wonderful time in the kitchen, too. Filled with warmth and an irrepressible enthusiasm for life's pleasures, A Tuscan in the Kitchen is an original and inspiring cookbook.

Download or read book Bella Tuscany written by Frances Mayes and published by Crown. This book was released on 2003-08-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frances Mayes, whose enchanting #1 New York Times bestseller Under the Tuscan Sun made the world fall in love with Tuscany, invites readers back for a delightful new season of friendship, festivity, and food, there and throughout Italy. Having spent her summers in Tuscany for the past several years, Frances Mayes relished the opportunity to experience the pleasures of primavera, an Italian spring. A sabbatical from teaching in San Francisco allowed her to return to Cortona—and her beloved house, Bramasole—just as the first green appeared on the rocky hillsides. Bella Tuscany, a companion volume to Under the Tuscan Sun, is her passionate and lyrical account of her continuing love affair with Italy. Now truly at home there, Mayes writes of her deepening connection to the land, her flourishing friendships with local people, the joys of art, food, and wine, and the rewards and occasional heartbreaks of her villa's ongoing restoration. It is also a memoir of a season of change, and of renewed possibility. As spring becomes summer she revives Bramasole's lush gardens, meets the challenges of learning a new language, tours regions from Sicily to the Veneto, and faces transitions in her family life. Filled with recipes from her Tuscan kitchen and written in the sensuous and evocative prose that has become her hallmark, Bella Tuscany is a celebration of the sweet life in Italy. Now with an excerpt from Frances Mayes's latest southern memoir, Under Magnolia.
