Publishers Text

"The Italian Farmer's Table" is a charming, highly illustrated cookbook featuring authentic recipes from over thirty agriturismi (working family farms that provide room and board to travellers) in northern Italy, where the cuisine served epitomises the farm fresh movement currently underway across the World. Visitors to agriturismi, who come from all over the World, indulge in such delights as fresh ricotta cheese made the same morning, prosciutto from free range pigs, and organic vegetables picked just minutes before serving. Fluent in Italian as well as professional chefs, Matteo and Melissa have transcribed more than 150 authentic northern Italian recipes from these family farms. The book includes full-color photographs and anecdotes about the farms and their residents that bring Italy's glorious countryside to life and complement such recipes as Onion Tarts, Fried Butternut Squash Ravioli, Piemontese Beef Stew, and Goat Cheese Gnocchi with Almond Butter.
