Vegetables and Salads (The Carluccio's collection) Book

"For me, Italian markets are all about bunches of freshly cut cicorietta(a slightly better and tender salad leaf), masses of courgette flowers, fresh green beans or fresh mint, basil and oregano just picked in the hills, and a couple of dozen warm eggs from corn- fed hens," Antonio Carluccio writes in the introduction to Vegetables & Salads. This small book forms part of The Carluccio's Collection, which is illustrated with photographs of vegetables taken by Priscilla Carluccio. The book contains many recipes adopted from the so- called "poor-man's kitchen". These have been developed over centuries from regional and local cuisines, along with influences from neighbouring countries. You will find "Carciofi in Agrodolce" (Sweet-and-Sour Artichokes), "Panella di Palermo" (Chickpea Fritters), "Caponata" (Sicilian Vegetable Stew) and a lot more. The dishes are usually very simple and can be adapted as a main course or a side dish. --Dale KneenRead More
