Synopsis
With award-winning author Mimi Thorisson as your guide, discover the rich culinary treasures of Italian cuisine in this personal, transportive collection of 100 simple yet elegant recipes that will find their way into your daily lives and hearts alike. A Kitchen in Italy proves that there are few greater pleasures than buying simple, good ingredients, and cooking a beautiful meal from scratch.Mimi Thorisson first captivated readers with A Kitchen in France, which displayed her family&’s idyllic lifestyle in the French countryside and its delectable cusine. Now that she has found a true home in Italy, Mimi presents a new Italian cookbook that shares the sumptuous meals she cooks and eats in her Italian kitchen. The 100 recipes in A Kitchen in Italy are Mimi's beloved, family-approved favorites—the staple dishes, perfected over the years, that she returns to again and again.In the spring, enjoy Mimi&’s Risi e Bisi, a brothy, risotto-like Venetian dish served in every home and restaurant when peas are in season. There&’s no better way to use up abundant summer zucchini than in Spaghetti alla Nerano, a dish that encapsulates the beautiful simplicity of Italian cooking. In the fall, turn to a comforting Baked Tagliolini with Prosciutto, a luxurious yet uncomplicated baked pasta with toasty, salty bites that are beloved by Mimi&’s kids. When citrus is at its peak in December, pair it with White Chocolate Pistachio Cookies, made with the very best Sicilian pistachios, for a terrific afternoon snack. With recipes designed for real life but indulgent in flavour, this book will allow you to tuck into a rustic countryside dish on a weeknight or build a special occasion menu to delight your friends. Featuring 150 stunning photographs shot by Mimi's husband, Oddur Thorisson, A Kitchen in Italy brings Mimi&’s Italian secrets to your dinner table.
