Meat only arrived in Italian kitchens with the coming of the Barbarians. Meanwhile, the ancient Romans learnt how to cook it from the Francs, especially pork, which soon held a place of honour at the banquets of the Roman emperors. From the Medieval period onwards, eating meat became the privilege of nobles and the aristocracy, while it was a food for feast days for the ordinary folk until the economic boom of the 1960s. White meat, depending on the culture, includes mutton, pork, poultry and veal. From a nutritional standpoint, white meat is lighter and leaner, richer in protein, vitamins B and precious minerals. To enhance its delicate taste, iCook Italian proposes 40 recipes which have been chosen from the many typical regional dishes the Belpaese has to offer, or born from the ideas of creative chefs. These are recipes very often tied to particular feast days and celebrations, particularly when it comes to lamb and kid, which are a must for every Easter menu, capon, which is always present on the Christmas table, or pig, at Carnival. These 40 ways of appreciating this type of meat are accompanied by expert advice on how to enhance their taste with the right wine.
The first to discover it were the Mayas, who considered it to be the food of the gods. They happily cultivated it thanks to their tropical climate and drank it in cups with some additional spices. However, as soon as the Spanish anchored on the east coast of Mexico, they began exporting it back to Europe. It first appeared in Italy in Modica, in Sicily, a Spanish protectorate at the time, from where it spread throughout the peninsula, soon becoming a staple part of the culinary tradition of the Belpaese, and a fundamental ingredient in cakes and desserts. 40 different ways to enjoy chocolate: iCook Italian recipes allow young and old, cooks and confectioners, chocoholics and neophytes to prepare and enjoy chocolate specialities. Try the incredibly refined truffles, the silky soft cake known as the sette veli, or the Chocolate Almond Cake and you will understand why the Maya considered it to be the food of the gods. All recipes come with recommendations from our wine expert.
Everything you’ve always wanted to know about rice but were afraid to ask. Dry, in a soup, baked, or as a dessert, rice holds a special place of honour in Italian cuisine. Beginning with the raw material itself which, moreover, makes up two thirds of the daily food intake of almost three billion people. There are thousands of different varieties just waiting to be discovered in the right context: Italy alone boasts Arborio and Carnaroli, Vialone and Selvaggi. Why not try the refined qualities of India’s Basmatic, too. From rice soup and salads to desserts and risotto, but also the country style recipes of "Sour tout", above all, which was imported by the monsù, the French cooks who worked at the Bourbon dependence. The 40 recipes contained in iCook Italian Rice show just how versatile this precious ingredient really is. Delicious and nutritionally perfect. Look out too for some handy tips from our chefs: the toasted onion which is then soaked in the soup to lighten the colour, how to thicken with frozen cubes of butter and how to stop the cooking process before serving by resting the pot on a wet dish cloth. Meanwhile our sommelier has the last word with some recommendations regarding the right drink. iCook Italian is a series of cookery eBooks, each one containing 40 illustrated recipes.

It’s much too easy just to say salad. Especially when you want something that is fresh, light, tempting and healthy. Not too demanding, perhaps, but tasty nevertheless. This is a world, a universe even, which has the same common denominators, lettuce and co, but with thousands of variations depending on personal tastes and the current season. Salad, the timeless legend of the 1980s, is the perfect solution for a light, but tasty, lunch: rich in nutritional goodness and capable of quickly inducing that wonderful feeling of fullness. Radicchio and endive, but fava beans, pine nuts, avocados, beans, potatoes, black rice and spelt, too. These are the main ingredients of the 40 recipes contained in iCook Italian, to help you create tasty balanced salads. Tuna, anchovies, eggs and cheese are also used to enhance the flavours of the vegetables, leaves and greens. These 40 salads, which can be enhanced with some bread, crostini and bread sticks, bring wellbeing to the table and can be experimented with all year round, as you follow the rhythms of the seasons. And for the pleasure seekers out there, what about a fine glass of wine to forever banish the idea that a salad is not a happy dish.
A love letter from two Americans to their adopted city, Tasting Rome is a showcase of modern dishes influenced by tradition, as well as the rich culture of their surroundings. Even 150 years after unification, Italy is still a divided nation where individual regions are defined by their local cuisine. Each is a mirror of its city’s culture, history, and geography. But cucina romana is the country’s greatest standout. Tasting Rome provides a complete picture of a place that many love, but few know completely. In sharing Rome’s celebrated dishes, street food innovations, and forgotten recipes, journalist Katie Parla and photographer Kristina Gill capture its unique character and reveal its truly evolved food culture—a culmination of 2000 years of history. Their recipes acknowledge the foundations of Roman cuisine and demonstrate how it has transitioned to the variations found today. You’ll delight in the expected classics (cacio e pepe, pollo alla romana, fiore di zucca); the fascinating but largely undocumented Sephardic Jewish cuisine (hraimi con couscous, brodo di pesce, pizzarelle); the authentic and tasty offal (guanciale, simmenthal di coda, insalata di nervitti); and so much more. Studded with narrative features that capture the city’s history and gorgeous photography that highlights both the food and its hidden city, you’ll feel immediately inspired to start tasting Rome in your own kitchen. eBook Bonus Material: Be sure to check out the directory of all of Rome's restaurants mentioned in the book!
The promise of culinary happiness. As the word itself states, the job of an appetiser is to arouse the palate and anticipate the tone of the menu. For this reason mistakes must be avoided at all costs. This is a tradition which dates back to ancient Rome, when banquets always began with hot or cold dishes and were often accompanied by applause. Then, in the 16th century, books and gastronomic tracts began to cite the word, antipasto, to indicate small dishes with salami, cold foods, sauces and shellfish which were used to prepare the palate for what was to come. Here are 40 ideal entrées for either lunch or dinner, which go wonderfully with cocktails or an apéritif, and can be served either standing up or sitting down. These 40 recipes are based on meat, fish, vegetables or cheese and can be served either hot or cold. From Eggplant Mousse with Herbs and Goat’s Cheese Flan to a Mesticanza of polenta with speck and Zucchini and asparagus muffins, the key word is light. Their aim is to tickle your taste buds without overwhelming them. From appetiser to dessert, the rules of Italian traditional cuisine state that you must first begin with the most delicate foods before the stronger flavours of the final dish, which is served right before dessert. iCook Italian is a series of cookery eBooks, each one containing 40 illustrated recipes. From appetisers to pasta, from rice to soups, from second courses of meat and fish to ice-creams, desserts, puddings and cakes as well as pizza, focacce, egg dishes and salads, iCook Italian is a genuine feast of Italian gastronomy.

From Brooklyn's sizzling restaurant scene, the hottest cookbook of the season... From urban singles to families with kids, local residents to the Hollywood set, everyone flocks to Frankies Spuntino—a tin-ceilinged, brick-walled restaurant in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens—for food that is "completely satisfying" (wrote Frank Bruni in The New York Times). The two Franks, both veterans of gourmet kitchens, created a menu filled with new classics: Italian American comfort food re-imagined with great ingredients and greenmarket sides. This witty cookbook, with its gilded edges and embossed cover, may look old-fashioned, but the recipes are just we want to eat now. The entire Frankies menu is adapted here for the home cook—from small bites including Cremini Mushroom and Truffle Oil Crostini, to such salads as Escarole with Sliced Onion & Walnuts, to hearty main dishes including homemade Cavatelli with Hot Sausage & Browned Butter. With shortcuts and insider tricks gleaned from years in gourmet kitchens, easy tutorials on making fresh pasta or tying braciola, and an amusing discourse on Brooklyn-style Sunday "sauce" (ragu), The Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion & Kitchen Manual will seduce both experienced home cooks and a younger audience that is newer to the kitchen.
Tiny masterpieces of handmade Italian art. We are, of course, talking about tagliatelle, tortellini, ravioli and tortelloni, in other words egg pasta, which must be soft, fresh and porous enough to absorb the sauce. Custodians of the techniques to make sfoglia have long been the Emilians, with the strong, slow movements they perform to knead the dough of eggs and flour. From them, fresh pasta has spread all over Italy. All you need to create marvellous, fresh pasta are a few, simple movements and the right ingredients, like eggs, flour and water. However, you can also add spinach, greens, tomatoes or sepia to enliven creative, tasty dishes. To dress and stuff with the tastiest sauces.
Originally it was with cheese and pepper. Then, with the discovery of America, came the tomato, which was surprisingly only used with pasta in 1839 when Ippolito Cavalcanti’s cookbook proposed "vermicelli co’ le pommadore". Spaghetti with pummarola has come a long way since then to become one of the flagship foods of Italian cuisine all over the world. Whether it’s linguine or scialatielli, spaghetti or bucatini, penne or fusilli, each and every pasta shape works best with the right match. If the diatribe about which nation, China or Italy, invented pasta is still open, what is no longer in discussion is who cooks it best. The right cooking point – al dente -, the consistency, the roughness and naturally the dressing are all the patrimony of Italian cuisine. Find out more with the 40 recipes found in iCook Italian, which are either easy to make or more complicated, but always explained step by step alongside some handy tips. These 40 recipes range from classic, traditional dishes, like carbonara, pesto alla genovese,and spaghetti with tomato and include new ways of eating pasta, like Linguine with spinach cream and gorgonzola or Baked timballo di paccheri.
