Cooking Great Italian Food With Seasonal Ingredients
Italian cuisine is often thought to be a summer affair, but it has so much more to offer. Connoisseurs of Italian culture know the host of
culinary delights the country has in store. From Tuscany and the mountains come an array of hearty soups, stews, and full-bodied
dishes. In autumn, the olive harvest begins, followed by festive winter occasions like Christmas, New Year, and Epiphany. This is where
bitter salad leaves and citrus fruits feature heavily.
Whether it’s risotto, salad, or pasta, Mercedes Lauenstein and Juri Gottschall once again show us just how little it takes to make good
food. As champions of real Italian culinary culture, they make the case for using high-quality ingredients and eschewing exact measurements
for greater culinary pleasure.
With writing on seasonally specific elements of culture and agriculture, wonderful photos, and over seventy new recipes that are perfect for autumn and winter, Lauenstein and Gottschall take us by the hand and share with us their passion for Italy.
