Publishers Text

The Italian Mama's Kitchen is a celebration of the fascinating and diverse culinary traditions from different Italian communities as continued by families today. Using a technique of reportage and focusing on the mother of the household, we catch a glimpse of how the old and new worlds meet and marry. Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi share their favourite everyday recipes, and those popular for special occasions as they have been passed down through the generations. They record the cooking skills learnt from Giancarlo's mother and grandmother and divulge those family secrets that give certain dishes that extra zest that set them apart. The authors dip into their stash of homemade recipes for producing perfect pasta, polenta, and then puddings with a twist. Split into seven helpful chapters; breakfast, antipasti, contorni, zuppe, pasta, secondi and dolci. The Italian Mama's Kitchen will give you the confidence to create much-beloved, complete Italian meals.
