Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Created for Italian food-lovers, this book features 100 delicious and simple family-friendly dishes. The authentic collection of recipes, cooking tips, and cultural tidbits will have home cooks exploring the delights of real Italian cooking while mastering the techniques for making one of the world's most popular cuisines. Italian cuisine reigns as queen of Mediterranean cuisines. In addition to its wealth of agricultural land, Italy has a unique history which made the country's gastronomy (especially in the southern regions) heterogeneous, multifaceted, diverse, and capable of countless variations on a relatively limited range of products. Love for food, respect for the land, imagination, and the ability to utilize every taste and ingredient to its fullest potential- these elements were solidified over centuries, giving rise to a cultural and material treasure trove of recipes, traditional products, and delicacies. This book unites a selection of the best 100 recipes-traditional, contemporary, and entirely Mediterranean-with in-depth explanations of their history and importance beyond merely a taste profile. Science may have proven the nutritional value of the Mediterranean diet, but rediscovering local recipes without knowledge of their roots, or choosing them for nutritional reasons alone, would be only half the story. the teachings of the past allow us to grasp the meaning of a tradition, to follow it, and to reinterpret it, adapting it to the times we live in. After all, the history of the Mediterranean and its extraordinary gastronomic culture is still being made today.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Pasta is truly a gastronomic galaxy. An ever new adventure in terms of shapes, colors, scents, styles, and flavours; and in terms of cooking, histories, condiments. Conquering the world with its record for taste and creativity from the cuisine of Italy, where there is a national monument to good food and good living. The different kinds of pasta can be distinguished according to their shape: long, short, and minute. Academia Barilla, an international centre dedicated to the diffusion of Italian gastronomy, has selected the 50 pasta-based recipes in this book. Some are typical of the Bel Paese cuisine and famous throughout the world, such as Penne alla Norma or Penne all'Arrabbiata, or the well-known Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Spaghetti alla Puttanesca, or the typical Bucatini all'Amatriciana and Bucatini Cacio e Pepe. But also justly renowned are Trofie al Pesto, Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa, and Linguine allo Scoglio. Still other first course dishes were created by matching the pasta to ingredients from Italian gastronomic tradition: cheeses such as Gorgonzola or Pecorino Romano; or cured meats, such as speck or Parma ham; or the traditional balsamic vinegar from Modena; or mushrooms; or sun-dried tomatoes. Always bearing respect and love for primary ingredients, and with great technique, following the simplicity that also becomes elegance.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The idea behind the board book collection was to attract even the youngest readers (from as young as 2 years old); to encourage them to discover subjects and areas that interest them (nature, animals, shapes, etc.) and to help them classify the things that surround them. The series is comprised of ten little books. Two are instructive, teaching shapes and numbers; five are exploratory and describe settings that are fun to discover (farm animals, wild animals, the backyard and its insects, the vegetable garden) and three are short stories about the experience of birth in nature (the birth of a little bird, of a butterfly and of a flower). Narration becomes the background for the text since touching and picture readings are the primary means of interpretation. A guiding character accompanies the child throughout each developing story until the end, where there is a summary of all the characters introduced in the book. Consistent with the Montessori approach, the child is encouraged to interact independently with his or her book. For example, in some cases, the child is asked to use a finger to trace the outline of a shape and notice its characteristics (round, sharp-edged, jagged, etc.). In others, he or she is asked to use a finger to follow a path in order to discover hidden characters and learn to associate them with their most distinctive features (the lions tail, the rabbits ears, the colours of vegetables, etc.). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
