Publishers Text
In the beautifully illustrated companion book to the public television series Avventura, Journeys in Italian Cuisine, host David Rocco takes readers on a fun-filled road trip through the heart of a country renowned for its food. Visit Italy's most fascinating destinations and uncover the secrets of its most popular dishes. Seafood bought fresh from Genova fishermen becomes a mariner's dinner of Antipasto Di Mare. Truffles picked in the forests of Umbria are turned into the sumptuous Frittata Al Tartufo. A tour of the baroque city of Arona on the alpine Lago Maggiore is topped off with a dessert once created for the Queen of Italy.
Through hundreds of full-color photos and captivating descriptions of twenty-six destinations, this book introduces readers to the sights, sounds, tastes and traditions of Italy. Through dozens of easy-to-prepare recipes it teaches home cooks how to recreate its mouthwatering cuisine in their own kitchens.
