Book - Old World Italian

• Loved for her superb cookbooks, Mimi Thorisson, along with her lively family and fox terriers, has immersed readers in the warmth of their convivial life in the French countryside. In their latest cookbook, the Thorissons pause their life in the idyllic French countryside to begin a new adventure in Italy to satisfy their endless curiosity and passion for the magic of Italian cuisine. Old World Italian chronicles their journey and the culinary treasures they discovered.
• From Tuscany to Umbria to Naples, Mimi delves into the diverse regional cuisines of Italy and shares 100 recipes for authentic and classic dishes, enhanced by conversations with dedicated local culinary experts who share their techniques and ancient stories. You'll indulge in dishes chosen from around the country, such as the plump agnolotti bathed in sage and butter of the north, the tomato-rich ragùs and pastas of the southwest, and the versatile, seafood-rich cuisine of Sicily. The mysteries of Italian culinary culture will be unraveled as you learn how to make the perfect Neapolitan pizza at home or prepare the most sublime and basic cacio e pepe.
• Full of color, local history and culture, and sumptuous, evocative photographs by Mimi's husband, Oddur Thorisson, Old World Italian transports you to the family table in Italy, where you may never want to leave
