Riassunto

Traditional and contemporary Italian recipes for vegetarian and nearly vegetarian dishes from the author ofThe Italian Slow Cooker

Over the ages, resourceful Italian cooks have devised countless ways to prepare vegetables—all incredibly flavorful and simple. In this book, Italian cooking authority Michele Scicolone shares recipes that she gathered during years of traveling in Italy. Some, like Green Fettuccine with Spring Vegetable Ragu and Easter Swiss Chard and Cheese Pie, came from talented home cooks. Others, such as Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms, were passed down through her family. She encountered still others, including One-Pot “Dragged” Penne, in restaurants and adapted dishes like Romeo’s Stuffed Eggplant from the cookbooks she collects. Many recipes display the Italian talent for making much out of little: Acquacotta, “Cooked Water,” makes a sumptuous soup from bread, tomatoes, and cheese. In keeping with Italian tradition, some dishes contain small amounts of pancetta, anchovies, or chicken broth, but they are optional. Simple desserts—Rustic Fruit Focaccia, Plum Crostata—finish the collection.

For The French Slow Cooker:

 

"Here’s what I know about savvy French home cooks: They love great tasting food. And if making that great tasting food is practical and convenient, they love it even more. I’d bet that if French cooks could get their hands on Michele Scicolone's French Slow Cooker, which is filled with smart, practical, and convenient recipes, they’d never let it go." -- Dorie Greenspan, Around My French Table

 

For The Italian Slow Cooker:

 

"Inventive and appealing." --Publishers Weekly

 

"For regional Italian cuisines that lean toward odds and ends and innards, the slow cooker is ideal. Especially recommended are Ms. Scicolone's recipes for Roman oxtail stew, a relatively easy take on osso buco, a brilliantly simple recipe for whole chicken with rosemary and garlic, and a less-familiar but tempting Sicilian swordfish ragu." --The Wall Street Journal

 

"Packed with unexpected recipes." --LA Weekly

 

"Tradition and innovation meet and melt with grand success . . . [a] slow, easy, energy-efficient take on Italian excellence." --Book Page

 

 "The process of slow, gentle cooking creates beautifully complex relationships between the ingredients in dishes like chicken cacciatore and Sicilian swordfish ragu." --Weight Watchers

 

For The Sopranos Cookbook:

 

"...a wonderful cookbook...simple, well done, and easy to make...this book deserves its own Emmy!" -- Frank Pellegrino, co-owner Rao's Restaurant and author of Rao's Cookbook

 

"This is a fantastic 'celebrity' cookbook that really makes sense." -- David Rosengarten, publisher of The Rosengarten Report
