Product Description

Product Description
Winner of the Guild of Food Writers Award in 1996 and the Accademia Italiana della Cucina's Orio Vergani prize, The Classic Food of Northern Italy has become a well-thumbed bible on the shelf of every discerning cook. In this revised and updated edition, Anna Del Conte celebrates the cooking of northern Italy - both rustic and sophisticated, ancient and modern. As Delia writes in her Foreword "Anna is a purist. She will not countenance anything that isn't in the strictest sense authentic." In this collection of over 150 recipes Anna has chosen the very best ideas sourced from acclaimed restaurants, elegant home kitchens, rural inns and country farmsteads. Many of the traditional dishes may not be familiar, such as flatbread made with chickpea flour, Ligurian Ciuppin or macaroni pie in a sweet pastry case, but she also presents definitive versions of popular dishes such as Pesto, Ragu and Ossobuco. Her recipes are thoroughly researched and tested; she provides the home cook with a trusted and essential companion. Her numerous practical tips are the result of a lifetime's experience.

About the Author
Anna Del Conte was born in Milan. Her first book, Portrait of Pasta, was published in 1976. In 1987 she was awarded the prestigious Duchesssa Maria Luigia di Parma prize for The Gastronomy of Italy. In 1994 Anna received the Premio Nazionale di Cultura Gastronomica Verdicchio d'Oro prize for her contribution to the dissemination of authoritative knowledge on authentic Italian cooking. She lives in Dorset.

1.0 out of 5 stars good recipes, but they are not italian, 26 Mar 2008
By Alberto De Fanis (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No doubt recipes are good. Just what it says is different than how dishes would be cooked in Italy. It is full of exotic recipes aimed to cheat the customer already kidnapped by supermarkets, glossy magazines, celeb chefs, entarteinment tv program pretending to be cooking program. At the same time many, perhaps most, of the basic italian recipes are simply absent.

Buy it if you know nothing about italian food, are happy to continue to know nothing, and want good recipes (not italian, but good).
If you look for italian food look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best cook books ever, 16 Mar 2009
By M. Sliwinski "demeter" (Brussels) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can highly recommend it! This book shows the essence of the Italian cuisine (although I am not sure anymore whether it is appropriate to talk about Italian cuisine or rather the cuisine of different regions of Italy). It is more than a cook book. It allows you to feel the Italy and understand the people by learning their cuisine. Thank you very much Mrs Del Conte that there are still cook book writers like you.
