Food and Memories of Abruzzo by Anna Teresa Callen Pdf

"A culinary gem for everyone who wants to bring the true flavor of Italy into their home." -Paula Wolfert The distinctive cuisine of Abruzzo, passed down through generations, is unveiled in this landmark cookbook. Nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains, Abruzzo is one of Italy's most striking regions, where the tastes of the earth and sea create a cuisine of vibrant flavors. Author and teacher Anna Teresa Callen grew up in Abruzzo and understands its regional specialties. Here is simple cooking at its best, with flavors kept fresh and clean. The robust tastes will linger, continuing to lure you into the kitchen to bring the joy and abundance of Italy's pastoral land to your own table. The book features more than 350 recipes such as Cardoon Soup from Anna Teresa's grandmother, the savory pie Fiadone Villese traditionally served at Easter, and the dessert La Cicerchiata from Italy's Jewish heritage. Callen's experience as a cooking teacher means the recipes are expertly written to ensure the best results every time. Framing the tempting recipes are the author's recollections of her bucolic girlhood-fishing with her father in the Adriatic, hunting for mushrooms in the forests, and rolling out pasta by hand with her mother-immersing you in the patterns of daily life in Abruzzo.

Deciding not to let his story fade, Angela embarks on a voyage that takes her through four seasons in her father's Italy, reconnecting to her ancestry and absorbing all of its chaos, beauty and style. Meal by meal at her father's family table and step by step through the Italian countryside, she slowly comes to understand the young Valentino who left for the new world. Along the way, she discovers the simple pleasures of rustic polenta high in the mountains, pesto on the Ligurian coast and shares melt-in-your-mouth ragù with friends inla boisterous Rome.

Searching for Family and Traditions at the French Table, Book One (Champagne, Alsace, Lorraine, and Paris regions) by Carole Bumpus Pdf

Part culinary memoir and part travelogue, Carole Bumpus gathered this compilation of intimate interviews, conversations, stories, and traditional family recipes (cuisine pauvre) in the kitchens of French families as she traveled throughout the countryside. Travel with her through Champagne caves/wineries and historic cathedrals, local farmers’ markets, ancient potters’ guilds, and restaurant kitchens with wood-fire ovens. Learn how to make homemade Spinach-stuffed Tortellini with Bolognaise Sauce from the Champagne region, Crêpes and Watercress-stuffed Ravioli from the Lorraine, and Baekeofe and Kugelhopf from the Alsace. “Go blind” from the family stock of Eau de Vie liqueur and be treated to tales of foraging for snails for the infamous and now extinct Escargots Festival. And, on a somber note, listen to accounts of families forced from their communities during the German occupation of WWII in the Alsace and Lorraine, only to continue to struggle for survival after finally making their way home. This book is a compilation of stories about making ends meet; about people being grateful for all they had, even when they had almost nothing; about the sharing of family jokes and laughter; and about family trials and triumphs. This book is about people savoring the life they have been given.

92 Everyday Delicious Abruzzo Recipes by Philip Curnow Pdf

Everyday Delicious Abruzzo Recipes is inspired by a good friend of Delicious Italy. One day, Mr. Antonino knocked on our door holding a handwritten manuscript full of recipes proposed by friends and family from Teramo to Francavilla and Vasto to L'Aquila.For years this remained, quite literally, an 'idea nel cassetto' before a selection of these recipes was combined with those of our own much loved Nonna Annunziata from Pescara. Together they are a genuine record of dishes people from the region actually cook in their kitchens, from classic seasonal recipes to the simplest of starters and dolci. The book also lists where the typical food products of Abruzzo are made, 52 places of interest we think you should visit, together with a selection of wonderful annual festivals and local proverbs and only the Abruzzese could say them. Everyday Delicious Abruzzo Recipes is not just a cookbook, but a cultural and gastronomic guide to savor a wonderful territory, perhaps starting in your own home.

My Sweet Abruzzo by Maria T Capdevielle Pdf

The book is about the recipes and memories of the Italian pastries, breads and confections I enjoyed in every celebration (from Christmas to Weddings) of my childhood and I tried to recreate in my own kitchen to share with my sons and to anyone passionate about Italian cuisine. Like a meal at an Italian-American restaurant, most Italian cookbooks stop at tiramisu, biscotti and gelato. For me, this is where "My Sweet Abruzzo" begins, a place where every pastry, bread, and confection has a name, or an identity inseparable from local celebrations.

My Calabria by Rosetta Costantino,Janet Fletcher Pdf

Recipes for easily accessible, fresh-from-the-garden Italian food from a Calabrian native and "bountiful good cook" (The Atlantic). At the tip of Italy's "boot" lies Calabria. It is a beautiful, mountainous region populated by fishermen and small farmers. Rosetta Costantino grew up in this rugged landscape—her father a shepherd and wine maker and her mother his tireless assistant. When her family immigrated to California, they re-created a little Calabria on their property, cooking with eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers from their garden, fresh ricotta made from scratch, and pasta fashioned by hand. A frugal people, Calabrians are master preservers, transforming fresh figs into jam, canning fresh tuna in oil, and sun-drying peppers for the winter. Now Rosetta shares her family's story and introduces readers to the fiery simplicity of Calabrian food. The first cookbook of a little-known region of Italy, My Calabria celebrates the richness of the region's landscape and the allure of its cuisine. This is a cookbook for our time: a reminder of how ingenious and resourceful cooks can create a gorgeous local cuisine.
