Download or read book Tasting Italy written by Immacolata de Lisio and published by Aicem Limited. This book was released on 2021-02-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What shall we eat? How many are we at the table? Your customers will never stop to use this amazing cookbook! These are the most frequent questions that each of us asks both in the family environment (especially if there is the will or the pleasure to change what we eat daily) and in the workplace (for those who, for example, have activities related to restaurant or catering). The recipe books, in fact, are very useful to satisfy both the taste (i.e. the goodness of the dishes) and the view (i.e. the way they are presented) and there are really many, indeed too many. But Nonna Imma's recipe book is unique for two reasons: First: cooking is a way of taking care of yourself and others; Nonna Imma teaches how to do it with passion and experience. Second: each of the listed dishes, certainly all typically Italian, has a touch that only Nonna Imma can give.... a little secret, an addition, a surprise that comes from the genius, the imagination and the love that she puts into everything she does. And here we are in the kitchen.... Nonna Imma has her own way of preparing dishes. In the book they are divided into topics: - First dishes - Second courses of meat and fish - Side Dishes - Pizzas - "Conserve" - for example, fresh tomatoes cooked and closed in vacuum in a jar - Sweets, creams and biscuits - Ice cream and "semifreddo" - for example a pudding - Liqueurs - And so on Dinner or lunch or even breakfast are moments of play and hospitality, where food is the element of union: whatever is in the fridge, Nonna Imma is able to combine or rework it quickly, simple and tasty and, in a short time, it becomes a delicious dish. Every day is therefore a party, an opportunity to lay the table, taking care of every detail, both when the dish is served and while it is cooked. And it doesn't matter if you are only two to eat or if there is the whole family with friends and relatives and therefore if you become 10 or 20 or even 50 people from 2: Nonna Imma puts everyone at the table and her book makes anyone able to do the same !!! And so, in honor of the "Queen of the Table", I decided to publish Nonna Imma's recipes, because they are written with love: Nonna Imma transformed cooking into a art, with which to take care of people.... do it too !!!! Enjoy your reading and enjoy your meal. Buy it NOW and let your customers become addicted to this incredible cookbook!

Book excerpt: An alluring, evocative summer voyage on the Mediterranean and into the enchanting seaside towns of France and Italy by a young American chef aboard an Italian billionaire couple’s spectacular sailing yacht. Having begun his cooking career in some of New York’s and San Francisco’s best restaurants, David Shalleck undertakes a European culinary adventure, a quest to discover what it really means to be a chef through a series of demanding internships in Provence and throughout Italy. After four years, as he debates whether it is finally time to return stateside and pursue something more permanent, he stumbles upon a rare opportunity: to become the chef on board Serenity, the classic sailing yacht owned by one of Italy’s most prominent couples. They present Shalleck with the ultimate challenge: to prepare all the meals for them and their guests for the summer, with no repeats, comprised exclusively of local ingredients that reflect the flavors of each port, presented flawlessly to the couple’s uncompromising taste—all from the confines of the yacht’s small galley while at sea. Shalleck invites readers to experience both place and food on Serenity’s five-month journey. He prepares the simple classics of Provençal cooking in the French Riviera, forages for delicate frutti di mare in Liguria to make crudo, finds the freshest fish along the Tuscan coast for cacciucco, embraces the season of sun-drenched tomatoes for acqua pazza in the Amalfi Coast, and crosses the Bay of Naples to serve decadent dark chocolate-almond cake at the Isle of Capri. Shalleck captures the distinctive sights, sounds, and unique character of each port, the work hard/play hard life of being a crew member, and the challenges of producing world-class cuisine for the stylish and demanding owners and their guests. An intimate view of the most exclusive of worlds, Mediterranean Summer offers readers a new perspective on breathtaking places, a memorable portrait of old world elegance and life at sea, as well recipes and tips to re-create the delectable food.
