Italian Food
One of my favourite films is ” The Big Chill” and one of the best
bits to me is the kitchen scene where they are cleaning up after a pasta
meal.. The music, the camaraderie all just rings a very large bell with
me. I’m not Italian, ( Irish) but the general family/ friends
atmosphere is so seductive. If we tried dancing in our kitchen, I’m sure
disaster would befall us. More than one person in our kitchen
constitutes a crowd. Of course, Italian food is truly yummy, and Tessa
Kiros’s Venezia makes it all so do-able.
Her Asparagus and Scampi Risotto just melts in the mouth, so creamy and rich, with just the right amount of bite.
The photography is also superb, not just the stunning scenery but the little snippets of life such as a little dog in a shirred and smocked pink dress, on a lead, having a sniff at something interesting on the street.
The book is a beautiful production from Murdoch Books,beautifully bound, heavy glossy paper, gilt edged, beautiful silk bookmark sewn in.This is more than a cookbook, it is a dream.
