Synopsis
There are some places worth traveling to just for the food: Rome, Venice . . . and now, Birmingham, Italy. In this companion to his first, best-selling cookbook, the beloved Southern chef Frank Stitt travels to Italy and brings the best of Mediterranean cuisine back home. To Stitt's mind, the two regions--Italy and the American South--share commonalities. Both native cuisines have a tradition of turning humble ingredients--ground corn, bitter greens, cured pork, the daily catch--into poetry on the plate. And as the chef points out in his lively introduction to the book, this is elemental cooking based on the purity and simplicity of the freshest and finest ingredients. Yet leave it to Stitt to make Italian cuisine his own. "There's no Pompano in Venice, but ours, fresh from Apalachicola, fits into the cartoccio (Italian fish stew) perfectly; our Chilton County white peaches are squeezed by hand for a bellini; our wild Gulf shrimp, oysters, crab, and fish are easily a match for their Mediterranean equivalents," Stitt writes. This appealing new cookbook includes the best of the Southern-influenced Italian recipes he has served at his Birmingham, Alabama, restaurant Bottega Restaurant and Café, for the last two decades--the Tomato Chutney and Roasted Sweet Pepper Pizza, Lamb Shanks with Sweet Peas and Mint, and fabulous desserts including Zabaglione Meringue Cake. Accompanied by sweet recollections of his journeys to Italy, this inspiring and accessible cookbook proves once again why the novelist Pat Conroy calls Stitt "the best chef in America.", There are some places worth traveling to just for the food: Rome, Venice . . . and now, Birmingham, Italy.

    The book arrived in good condition and was what the seller listed it as, product and condition wise. Shipping was slow, but that’s expected when you live in Alaska and the seller communicated with me very well throughout the process. I recommend this seller! Also, a word for the product itself, if you’re looking for reliable information on healthy eating, Nourishing Traditions will not disappoint! Also check out the “companion” Weston A. Price foundation website for so many helpful articles.

    I was pleasantly surprised to receive the book I'd ordered in a box that was the proper size (instead of jammed into an envelope). Inside the box, the book was even wrapped in butcher paper. It was in excellent condition, as described. I appreciate the seller's thoughtful packaging and very quick shipping. Thank you!

    Thank you! I am a book lover, and I cannot abide by books arriving in PLASTIC with zero padding! So, all of my books are shipped in cardboard. We must respect our books :) Thank you for taking the time to note that, it's much appreciated!
