Walk into any restaurant or trattoria in Italy and you'll be
greeted by antipasto tables laden with platters of colorful salads,
tender seafood dishes, regional salamis and cheeses, and fresh
vegetables prepared in every way imaginable. With this inspiring
collection of two hundred versatile, simple-to-prepare recipes,
Michele Scicolone recreates these antipasto tables at home. "The
Antipasto Table" includes many traditional favorites passed down by
the author's family as well as new interpretations based on her own
travels in Italy, and even some antipasti new to this country.
Imagine a table of hot antipasti -- fresh mozzarella rolled in
bread crumbs and fried until crisp outside and melted within or
grilled calamari with oregano and white wine. Or sample the cold
dishes -- Sicilian eggplant salad or trout marinated in olive oil,
vinegar, and sage. Bread-based antipasti include taralli,
fennel-laced biscuits, perfect with a glass of red wine; and
bruschetta, grilled country bread topped with fresh tomatoes and
herbs or Gorgonzola and pine nuts.
This marvelous cookbook also features special sections on the
art of preparing vegetables and selecting the proper wines to serve
with antipasti. "The Antipasto Table" highlights the foods that
make Italian cuisine so wonderfully appealing.
