DOWNLOAD EBOOKDelicious, quick, thoroughly Italian toasted and topped sandwiches made from the freshest quality ingredients and guaranteed not to last long on the plate! Delicious, quick, thoroughly Italian toasted and topped sandwiches made from the freshest quality ingredients and guaranteed not to last long on the plate! Who but the Italians (with their love of simple, honest food) could have invented panini? The word means “little breads” but translates as warm, melting cheese and spicy salami or vegetables in a crisp jacket of grilled bread. In Italy you find variations such as tramezzini, stuffed focaccia and filled piadina—all uncomplicated food at its finest. To make these tasty sandwiches there is one important prerequisite—buy the best ingredients you can find. Plunder the food markets for authentic cheeses such as Mozzarella or Fontina, or Provolone and delicious meats such as prosciutto, bresaola, and mortadella salami. The golden rule of successful panini making is not to overcomplicate things. Fill your Panini with mouthwatering combinations such as Spicy Salami, Provolone, Artichoke and Peperoncini; Mortadella, Giardiniera and Arugula; and Pepperoni, Mozzarella, Black Olives, and Pesto. Open sandwiches are enjoying a revival so why not enjoy them Italian style? Bruschetta is good crusty Italian bread, toasted over a wood fire or cooked on an iron stove-top grill pan, then rubbed with garlic and anointed with olive oil. True crostoni (large) or crostini (small) are brushed with olive oil and cooked in the oven or under the grill or fried in olive oil or butter and are perfect as an antipasti or appetizer before an Italian meal. Sample tempting bruschetta toppings from Garlic Mushrooms with Gremolata; Slow-roasted Tomatoes with Salted Ricotta; Goat Cheese and Sweet Red Bell Peppers and Roasted Artichokes with Pine Nuts. Bite-size Crostini make perfect party food—try them with all manner of delicious toppings from Prosciutto-wrapped Bocconcini or Smoked Salmon and Lemon Pepper Cream to Tuna, Black Olives, Pine Nuts, and Capers. Finally, discover how to take your panini and crostini to the next level with the addition of homemade Italian-style condiments. Simple recipes include Roasted Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions, Basil Pesto, and Giardiniera, delicious little sour-sweet pickled vegetables. There is also a recipe for mayo (perfect for dunking your panini in!), meaning you won't be lost for inspiration for ways with these delicious, toasted Italian breads.

For the home cook and the armchair traveler alike, Lidia's Italy offers a short introduction to ten regions of Italy—from Piemonte to Puglia—with commentary on nearby cultural treasures by Lidia's daughter Tanya, an art historian. · In Istria, now part of Croatia, where Lidia grew up, she forages again for wild asparagus, using it in a delicious soup and a frittata; Sauerkraut with Pork and Roast Goose with Mlinzi reflect the region’s Middle European influences; and buzara, an old mariner’s stew, draws on fish from the nearby sea. · From Trieste, Lidia gives seafood from the Adriatic, Viennese-style breaded veal cutlets and Beef Goulash, and Sacher Torte and Apple Strudel. · From Friuli, where cows graze on the rich tableland, comes Montasio cheese to make fricos; the corn fields yield polenta for Velvety Cornmeal-Spinach Soup. · In Padova and Treviso rice reigns supreme, and Lidia discovers hearty soups and risottos that highlight local flavors. · In Piemonte, the robust Barolo wine distinguishes a fork-tender stufato of beef; local white truffles with scrambled eggs is “heaven on a plate”; and a bagna cauda serves as a dip for local vegetables, including prized cardoons. · In Maremma, where hunting and foraging are a way of life, earthy foods are mainstays, such as slow-cooked rabbit sauce for pasta or gnocchi and boar tenderloin with prune-apple Sauce, with Galloping Figs for dessert. · In Rome Lidia revels in the fresh artichokes and fennel she finds in the Campo dei Fiori and brings back nine different ways of preparing them. · In Naples she gathers unusual seafood recipes and a special way of making limoncello-soaked cakes. · From Sicily’s Palermo she brings back panelle, the delicious fried chickpea snack; a caponata of stewed summer vegetables; and the elegant Cannoli Napoleon. · In Puglia, at Italy’s heel, where durum wheat grows at its best, she makes some of the region’s glorious pasta dishes and re-creates a splendid focaccia from Altamura. There’s something for everyone in this rich and satisfying book that will open up new horizons even to the most seasoned lover of Italy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThirty years after its doors first opened, The River Café remains one of London's most iconic restaurants, loved for its innovative Italian food. Pioneering chefs Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers together changed the face of Italian food in Britain, championing seasonality well ahead of their time from their West London kitchen, which won a Michelin star in 1998 and has kept it ever since. The restaurant helped launch the careers of Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, to name but two. Over the course of decades, Rose and Ruth visited Italy time and again, fascinated by the subtleties of dishes from the many different, and diverse, regions of the country. Their unique approach to Italian farmhouse cooking was learned from local mothers, grandmothers, cousins and wine makers who invited them into their kitchens and shared wisdom and precious family recipes. This book gathers together Rose and Ruth's personal interpretations of those heirloom recipes. It's a celebration of the real, classic food of Italy; the traditional, regional food they ate on their travels; and the food they went on to cook at the restaurant and at home. These are the recipes they became well known for, as well as some that are cooked less and less in Italy these days and which Rose and Ruth longed to preserve and pass on.
