Description
“[Anna Teresa Callen] is one of the national treasures of Italian cookery.”
-Mario Batali,chef, Babbo Ristorante, new York and Author, Molto Italiano
“Anna Teresa’s book is a definitive guide to the Neapolitan cuisine-a stunning collection of delicious, inventive everyday recipes that are perfect for the home cook. Her deeply personal view into the cuisine and history of Campania sets this book apart."
-Alfred Portale, Chef, Gotham Bar and Grill, New York
In this lovingly rendered cookbook memoir, Anna Teresa Callen takes readers on a culinary journey to Naples, one of her favorite Italian cities. From antipasti, soups, and pizza, to a host of pasta, fish, meat, and vegetable dishes, this collection of more than 250 recipes covers the cuisine of the Campania region, including its capital, Naples, the islands of Capri and Ischia, and the Amalfi coast. Neapolitan cuisine exemplifies la cucina povera or “the cooking of the poor”, whose inventiveness with inexpensive local ingredients produced the region’s legendary mozzarella di bufala, the famed, succulent ragu alla napoletana, and simple, hearty dishes that make the most of seasonal vegetables and abundant seafood. A skilled cooking instructor, the author provides easy, step-by-step instructions and much more.
