Synopsis: Nowhere is Italian life more seductive than in the kitchen. With over 150 recipes and personal wisdom from the kitchen, "Italy Anywhere" helps you to create the simple style of a backroads table, similar in feel to the inns scattered throughout the Northern country. From spicy green olives to fresh pastas and bruschetta, from fluffy gnocchi and vegetable anitpasti to flavoring oils and cured prosciutto -- the authors carefully explain the fundamentals and translate extraordinary recipes into something truly accessible to the American home cook. They also share their time-tested culinary secrets and entertaining pleasures in over 30 food essays on subjects like "Learning to Cook", "Why We Invite", "Preparing Mushrooms", and "Dinner for One". These essays offer a lighthearted and inviting look beyond the mechanics of recipe to the real art of creating Italian food in the Italian style. Handsome woodcut-style drawings accompany the text.
