Descrizione

Tomato is not only the emperor of the garden, it is also one of the principal ingredients on the Italian table and in the Mediterranean diet. Known and appreciated for its countless virtues, it is without a doubt one of the most common products on our table. It can be used fresh or preserved in innumerable recipes. This volume, realized in close collaboration with the Academia Barilla, an institution dedicated to the protection and appreciation of the typical products of Italian cuisine, is a hymn to the culinary uses of the tomato. In leafing through the 50 recipes offered, which include appetizers, first and second course dishes, sauces, and desserts, the reader can “taste” the different combinations of flavors and re-create dishes that are simple and light or rich and elaborate, depending on the occasion. Through a selection of recipes that also include delicious finger foods, first course dishes of pasta or rice, soups, second course dishes of meat or fish enriched with delicious sauces, side dishes, and then even some recipes arriving from distant lands, you’ll learn to appreciate the various facets of the tomato and discover stimulating suggestions for preparing healthful and tasty dishes based on this ingredient. Lavishly illustrated and practical, with its absolutely innovative and original design, this work will succeed in satisfying the curious palates not only of the most sophisticated but also of the neophytes!
