More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Antonio Carluccio's recipes are always bang-on, simple and vivid. He is among the most amiable of food writers, genial and measured; one reads with pleasure but no surprise of his delight at encountering Italy's Slow Food Society. In Antonio Carluccio's Italian Feast he explores the traditions of Northern Italian cooking. It must be said that this is of course one of the best known cuisines in the world these days, so the fact that he gives a recipe for as universal a dish as Bolognese Sauce (Ragu Bolognese) bespeaks a serene confidence that one cannot help expecting. The recipes are a combination of traditional dishes, such as the Ragu, with Carluccio's own creations and those of his friends. Coniglio San Domenico (rabbit with artichoke hearts and olives) is his own invention, yet absolutely true to tradition. So it is with Risotto con Lenticchie e Salamini (risotto with lentils and sausages--apparently the original is made with frogs), Zuppa di Cardi e Polpettine di Pollo (Cardoon Soup with Chicken Dumplings) or Crostata di Melecotogne (Quince Tart), to choose more or less at random: the effect is alluring in the extreme, robust and sensual. The illustrations are mouth-watering. For the broadminded, there is a particularly tasty treat on page 147. --Robin Davidson

I have found this book to be a constant source of inspiration for my attempts liven up the boring bolognese and have used the spicy prawns with pasta on numerous occasions to great effect.
Many of the recipes do, however, require a little more than rudimentary cooking skill, a well stocked cupboard and often a little detective work to track down an obscure ingredient or a suitable alternative. The results of perseverance are worthwhile though.

Buy this, you'll never regret it. I have loved everything that I have cooked from this and many are now my favourites (I've had it for about 9 years). In fact I just used it tonight and thought I must rate this book. Some of the ingredients are obscure but I just omit them or substitute (if I know what they are). Perhaps they come out sub-standard, but they're easily fantastic to me and I can't imagine bettering them.
Most of my dinner guests have bought this book too now - it's worth it just for the crostini recipe.
Buy it and you'll thank me forever.
