Product Description
Review
"One of the most delicious reads I have had... makes me want to cook these regional specialties all year long."--Mario Batali
Product Description
Rising star Chef Fabio Trabocchi's unique take on his native cuisine, that of the until-now overlooked Le Marche region of Italy. Every chef is a product of a place and a tradition. Fabio Trabocchi's soul is in the Italian province of Le Marche. Not far from Rome, Le Marche is separated by the towering Apennine mountains. This isolating geography accounts for the rich variety of Le Marche's food traditions. The first chefs of Le Marche assimilate recipes, ingredients, and techniques form visiting mariners from Greece and North Africa. Now, in his debut cookbook, Trabocchi showcases his signature style of cooking - one that Vogue called "already legendary" - combining traditional elements of Italian cuisine with a contemporary European sensibility that draws on the many flavors he's experienced throughout his extensive travels, honing a unique take on his native cuisine at restaurants around the world.

Finally... and worth the wait!!
27 Oct 2006
Format:Hardcover
As an avid cookbook collector, this is my favorite 2006 acquisition. I have been a devoted fan of Maestro, Chef Trabocchi's marvelous DC area restaurant and have been eagerly awaiting the publication of this book to learn more about his inspirations and bring some of the magic into my own kitchen.
Even if you haven't had the privilege of dining at Maestro, this book is a must-own for anyone who appreciates authenticity and a unique take on a traditional cuisine.
Buy this book and be prepared to fall in love with Le Marche!

Very enlightening
4 Jan 2007
Format:Hardcover
I love Fabio's cooking. It's Inspired and exploding with amazing flavor. Fof over a year and a half worling in Maestro, I didn't always understood where the genious came from. This book has allowed me to understand a lot about him.
The recipes in the book are not your typical italian fare, it's a rustic, culinary treasure from a relatively undiscovered region of Italy. Very recomendable.

Italian charm, top-notch food
2 Nov 2006
Format:Hardcover
Part travelogue, part cookbook, Cucina of Le Marche intersperses its recipes with family memories and great storytelling. This is not just a cookbook to quickly consult over the stove; it's a book you'll want to curl up with and really read. Some of the recipes are fairly involved, but the writing is easy to follow and what I've made so far has been delicious. The rice and spinach soup with prosciutto and parmesan is heavenly, and the Le Marche risotto is easy to make but super yummy (the secret ingredient is cinnamon). Beginner cooks, advanced chefs and avid readers should all find something to love here.
Even with all the amazing restaurants in New York, I still crave the delicious food at Trabocchi's restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton in VA. With this cookbook I can bring a little bit of his cuisine to my own kitchen. Bravo!
