approach to ingredients and techniques known as cucina povera  or peasant cooking  that results
in the highest expression of what Italian food is all about?transforming simple components into
unforgettably delicious and satisfying meals. It's also a way of cooking that  with some
notable exceptions like minestrone  ribollita  and pasta e fagioli  is barely known outside of
Italy. Author Giulia Scarpaleggia is all set to change that. She's a Tuscan home cook  food
writer  and cooking teacher who is writing both to elevate the cucina povera of her native

vendor in Rome  the cooking of Cucina Povera is exactly how so many of us want to eat today.
