    Besides the creativity of the author-chefs, this book has some invaluable recipes for making a number of often hard-to-find ingredients at home with simple methodology, in particular for duck ham (prosciutto) and for a fine substitute for salt cod, which is becoming very expensive as well as difficult to obtain in many places. Check out the recipes for pancetta, lardo and guanciale, too. They're all easy and uncomplicated and will result in important additions to your larder!

Publishers Text

Stefano and Jim explore dishes of depth and texture, where poaching, steaming and smoking among more standard techniques) are part of the Italian gastronomic lexicon. The recipes are straightforward, but not dumbed-down and always have an eye on the importance of flavour, texture and presentation. Savoury recipes include Pancetta with Smoked Provolone, Grilled Polenta and Quail Eggs; Mushroom Consomm with Slow-roasted Baby Onions and Truffle Toasts; Salad of Yabby, Baby Cos, Nashi and Caramelised Macadamias; Truffle Macaroni and Cheese; Stefano's Rabbit Papardelle with Sage and Speck, and Wet-roasted Rabbit with Herbs and Pecorino, with desserts such as Blood Orange and Macadamia Cake with Honey Curd; Saffron Panna Cotta; Passionfruit Curd Tart with Burnt Meringue and Jim's deconstructed Tiramisu.
