Vegetables all'Italiana: Classic Italian vegetable dishes with a modern twist

Description

A brand new collection of recipes from Anna Del Conte that make vegetables the star of the show. Organised in an A-Z format from aglio to zucchina, Anna presents classic dishes alongside her own personalised (many previously unpublished) recipes created throughout her years as a writer. These range from classic recipes to more adventurous dishes including panzanella, parmigiana di melanzane, fiori di zucca fritti and beetroot or pumpkin gnocchi. Whilst Anna embraces classic Italian flavours, she ensures that the vegetable in the dish is at the heart of each recipe in her signature style. This is a celebration of vegetables that praises the flavour and texture of each individual root, squash, herb and pulse to teach a new generation of cooks how to enjoy fresh seasonal produce at any time of year.

Anna Del Conte is widely recognised as the doyenne of Italian cooking. Her books include Italian Kitchen, Cooking with Coco and The Classic Food of Northern Italy, which in 1996 won both The Guild of Food Writers Book Award and the Orio Vergani prize of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina. She was also awarded the Guild of Food Writers Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
