Virtual Book Tour
The Book on Virtual Tour
The book is ‘The Basic Art of Italian Cooking.’ Authored by celebrity chef Maria Liberati, it is part recipe-anthology and part travel guide. Maria alternates preparation instructions for elegantly simple Italian dishes with stories and anecdotes gleaned from a life lived amidst tranquil Italian landscapes as well as a glamorously fast-paced American backdrop.
Maria uses only fresh ingredients – nothing comes from a can. Preparation is simple, yet it is an art form. It is not just a matter of throwing ingredients together, but the entire process of putting together a dish or a meal has to be done with love and attention and a little bit of flair. Food is not just about cooking and eating, it is a culture in itself and this is what Maria aims to bring across in her book.
