Discover a region in Southern Italy which offers the most tantalizing food through 75
authentic recipes cooked with care and attention and using the best ingredients. Italian
food reflects culture. In Italy cooking is the product of geography history and religion.
“Italian cooking” is really a patchwork of local and regional cuisines all fiercely claiming
to be the best in the country. Ursula Ferrigno’s own family comes from the south of Italy and
just south of Naples is the Amalfi Coast. It is widely considered to be one of Italy’s most
magical locations: breath-taking (literally) winding cliff-top roads pastel-colored houses
tumbling down towards the sea flower-framed terraces and trees heavy with the world’s most
coveted lemons at every turn. Discover the delicious food the region has to offer. Vegetable
dishes take center stage and both meat and fish are eaten and often combined in exciting ways.
In this seductive book you’ll find 75 recipes to enjoy from simple antipasti and ministre
(soups) to pane (bread) and pizza risotto pollame and carne (fish and meat) and the
all-important contorni (vegetable) alongside essays on the food culture and traditions of the
area and beautiful scenic imagery.
