Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spinach balls (Polpettine di spinaci)

    • MaryCunningham86 on April 25, 2014

      I love these and make them anytime I have an abundance of spinach or silverbeet (silverbeet works fine in place of the spinach - the mixture may just be a little less fine) and usually serve them atop of pasta with a simple tomato-based sauce, with plenty more parmesan for good measure!

  • Pasta with pesto (Trofie al pesto Genovese)

    • saladdays on July 25, 2013

      A fool-proof recipe for a classic pasta favourite. We used fusilli instead of trofie and freshly picked home-grown basil. Summer in a bowl!

  • Little rice balls (Arancini di riso)

    • treay on November 14, 2024

      Tonight we had some arancini, fried chicken thighs with porcini sauce & asparagus. A couple of weeks ago I made chicken with porcini - a Catalan dish - with 3 cheese risotto. We ended up with a lot of leftover sauce that was too nice to throw away and also quite a bit of risotto. The following day I added some flour mixed with butter to the sauce and reduced it until it thickened. Then I used the hand blender and it turned out into a very thick and rich sauce. Put it into small jars and into the freezer. With the risotto, I looked up a recipe to make arancini - never made them before - and made quite a lot of them and froze them to use later. Tonight, I deep-fried the arancini and served them with some fried chicken thighs with the porcini sauce. I also put a few baked asparagus on the side for a bit of green. Delicious meal.

All the mouthwatering recipes featured are very easy to cook, perfect for those with little experience or who are short of time. Throughout, Antonio has also included clever suggestions for how to 'upgrade' the basic recipe by adding a 'luxury' ingredient or an extra component - an anchovy or two, perhaps, some chilli and capers, or an accompanying sauce. There are also ingenious recipes for using up leftovers, with Antonio always remaining budget-conscious. And, of course, all the dishes are completely delicious, for they are Antonio's favourites, employing the basic tenets of the finest Italian cooking: top-quality ingredients prepared simply and served without fuss. The recipes are illustrated with fabulous photography by Alistair Hendy,including several step-by-step sequences. Antonio Carluccio's Simple Cooking is a distillation of a lifetime of passion, full of Antonio's firm belief that cooking, whether for oneself or for family and friends, is one of the most loving of human skills.
