Reseña del libro "Family Favourites: An Italian family cook book (en Inglés)"
Mr. Thomas Whieldon, an Italian-born son to a family of humble hoteliers, has compiled a thorough cookbook of prized family recipes, ranging from rich and flavourful sauces to homemade pasta, creamy risotto, succulent seafood dishes, savoury roasts, delicious desserts, and so much more. In his book, FAMILY FAVOURITES - An Italian family cook book, Mr. Whieldon shares each family member's favorite recipes with their own special zest for cooking. His family essentially lived and breathed hotels, often working in the kitchen under great chefs, learning and perfecting techniques, making them perfect contributors for such a work. This practical experience fostered a special love and adoration for the simplicity of Italian cooking, a clear theme running through the cookbook. The cookbook beholds a family legacy of recipes and food preparation tips peppered with personal advice and commentary delivered by the author. Mr. Whieldon himself shares candid tips that make the reader feel as though it's a one-on-one session of cooking instruction amid a large Italian family. FAMILY FAVOURITES - An Italian family cook book includes: Basic Italian preparation procedures, such as slicing julienne style and learning to "saltare" or toss your pasta Complete recipes listing ingredients, required preparation, cooking instructions, and service suggestions Antipasti (starters), Insalate (salads), Primi (first courses), Secondi (second courses), Alla Brace (BBQ), and Dolci (desserts) Select family memories and homage to Uncle Sergio's vineyards and the unforgettable wines born of them Personal advice and commentary on the recipes, making the reader feel a part of the family as well Colourful photographs accompanying the cookbook's mouth-watering entries The idea of this family recipe book blossomed from the reality of a large family originally from Northern Italy's valley of the Valtellina, with plenty of cousins, sisters, sons, and other relatives now living abroad or in distant locations. This warm and satisfying volume of recipes allows all members of the family to enjoy the same family favourites no matter where they live.
