Who can resist bruschetta rubbed with garlic and drizzled with
olive oil, almond-studded biscotti dipped in coffee or wine, and,
of course, a thin-crusted pizza with fresh, sweet tomatoes and
tangy mozzarella? These Italian classics that Americans know and
love are just the beginning; there are a wealth of other equally
delicious breads and sweets waiting to be discovered.
In this groundbreaking classic--now thoroughly updated for today's
modern kitchen--Carol Field introduces artisanal doughs and
techniques used by generations of Italian bakers. Every city and
hill town has its own unique baking traditions, and Field spent
more than two years traversing Italy to capture the regional and
local specialties, adapting them through rigorous testing in her
own kitchen.
Field's authentic recipes are a revelation for anyone seeking the
true Italian experience. Here's a chance to make golden "Altamura"
bread from Puglia, chewy porous loaves from Como, rosemary bread
sprinkled with coarse sea salt, dark ryes from the north, simple
breads studded with toasted walnuts, succulent fig bread, and
Sicilian loaves topped with sesame seeds.
" "
"The Italian Baker" is the only comprehensive book, in English or
Italian, to cover the entire range of Italian baking, from
breadsticks and "cornetti" to focaccia, tarts, cakes, and pastries.
There is even a chapter on using leftover bread--with recipes
ranging from hearty Tuscan bread soup to a cinnamon and
lemon-scented bread pudding.
Winner of the International Association of Culinary Professionals
Award for best baking book, "The Italian Baker" was also named to
the James Beard Baker's Dozen list of thirteen indispensable baking
books of all time. It has inspired countless professionals and home
cooks alike. This latest edition, updated for a new generation of
home bakers, has added four-color photography throughout, plus new
recipes, ingredients and equipment sections, source guides, and
weights. One of the most revered baking books of all time, "The
Italian Baker" is a landmark work that continues to be a must for
every serious baker.
