Buon Appetito

Create an at-home Italian vacation with these 23 inspiring recipes from two James Beard Award winners.  BUON APPETITO: A Taste of Italy from Canal House Cooking is a collection of our favorite Italian-inspired recipes, the ones we cook for ourselves, our friends, and our families all throughout the year. From sumptuous antipasti like our eggplant caponata to fresh, flavorful main dishes like grilled lamb chops scottadito, these are the recipes that will make you want to forget about everything else and toast to la vita bella with loved ones.   We are home cooks writing about home cooking for other home cooks. Our recipes are special enough for entertaining but simple enough for the novice and experienced cook alike. In this booklet we deliver something for every palate. We make flatbreads from scratch for smoky grilled pizzas and scour gardens and farmers’ markets for the best ingredients for rice salad, roasted onions agrodolce, and more. We pick the freshest figs, the sweetest strawberries, and the creamiest ricottas for simple, elegant desserts.  Buon Appetito is an enticing taste of what is to come this year from the Canal House kitchen. We publish three volumes a year: Summer, Fall & Holiday, and Winter & Spring, each filled with delicious recipes for you from us. This year we dedicate each title to the robust, fresh flavors of Italy, and to dishes that will delight your palate and warm your hearts. Buon appetito!   23 delicious triple-tested recipes
