Product Description

Inspired by the family meals cooked by his mother and grandmother, Alvaro Maccioni presents recipes that capture all the goodness and robust flavors of real Tuscan country cooking. Typical of the savory dishes are "Agnello in Salsa"—lamb flavored with garlic, parsley, red chilies, and rosemary, simmered with white wine and tomatoes, and "Pasta d'Estate"—a pasta salad with pine nuts, cherry tomatoes, "dolcelatte," and baby spinach. Alvaro's memories of Italy are woven throughout the book, evoking a vivid picture of Tuscan country life.
