Cucina di Casa Mia – Recepten van een Italiaanse familie is geen gewoon Italiaans kookboek.
Moises Ramirez
What a wonderful idea: a cookbook that reads like a story, because it tells a story, not just recipes; guides the reader through the natural cycles of life and nature; firmly relies on the past to make sense of the present. In a light philo sophical vein it reveals some laws of a higher order amongst chaos, the eternal return. A glass of wine proves that God exists. Pairs with tenderness, a pinch of nostalgia, a drizzle of fun and lots of love. For, aside 18 months of hard work, this is the product of love. A breakthrough for marvelous cook and writer Nicoletta Tavella, whose friendship I'm proud to have. First edition originally published in Dutch language by Choizes. Retail price in the Netherlands & Belgium is 24€. Go get one copy now and learn to cook like an Italian translator of raw materials into food for thought as well as pleasure.
