Appeals to every generation A modern take on traditional Italian
food Helps parents to create awareness in children about what they
put in their mouths in the hope that it could be the start of a
more adventurous and, in the future, educated palate 'Throughout
Versatile, traditional recipes are presented with optional
ingredients to be added or removed according to the various palates
and tastes of family and friends, an approach that reflects the
heart of Italian cuisine...it is this book's legacy of recipes that
most evocatively encapsulates the Italian philosophy of food as
nourishment for both body and the spirit.' Grazia Giuliani
Versatile: Cooking & Living Italian is the journey of a Mother,
eating and cooking throughout her lifetime. The recipes in this
book are ones that Grazia Giuliani has been enjoying and cooking
since she was a child, she has grown up with these herself, held
onto them throughout her childhood and has now given, as a gift, to
her own Bambini. In Italy, one cooks a family meal and everyone in
the family eats that meal. Variations to the original recipe may be
added or taken away - cheese, pepper, spices, herbs are optional -
but the basic ingredients and the way of preparing the meal are the
same for everyone, young and old. With chapters dedicated to the
journeys that have been experienced by her family, Versatile
captures the discovery of seasonal variety, and the colors and
scents of dishes that they enjoyed together. Italian cuisine is
regional rather than national and often there are several
interpretations of a single recipe, each developed according to
local traditions and the availability of regional ingredients. In
Italy, everybody has always something to say or to add! Throughout
the book, the theme of versatility is further enhanced when a
family adopt a recipe, they take the destiny of a recipe into their
own hands, shaping and serving yet more versions of a classic dish
across the generations. As well as simple recipes that children can
prepare for the family, the book features an entire chapter
dedicated to the many celebrated special occasions that see
Italians gather around large tables with family and friends. Le
Feste (special occasions) are another wonderful 'excuse' to rejoice
with plenty of delicious food, fine wine and delightful company. In
addition to her own recipes and those handed down to her by her
mother, this book also includes recipes passed on by other members
of Grazia's family and who share her love for food.
