Items related to The Villa Table
The Villa Table is Lorenza de' Medici's definitive cookbook. Based on her famed cooking course, it begins with antipasti, such as Cappelle di Funghi ai Gamberetti--mushroom caps stuffed with shrimp--and continues through a sumptuous array of main courses, from pastas and risottos to meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. There is also a tempting selection of desserts, including Crostata di Pesche e Amaretti--peach and amaretti tart--and a final chapter on the well-stocked cupboard. With more than 250 recipes, this classic cookbook is essential for anyone wishing to capture the essence of fine Italian cuisine. Since her highly successful series on PBS television, Lorenza de' Medici's name in America has become virtually synonymous with Italian cooking. The author of twenty best-selling books, de' Medici also runs the prestigious cooking school The Villa Table at Badia a Coltibuono in Tuscany. She makes frequent radio and television appearances on both sides of the Atlantic. 192 pp 6 x 9 American measures

From the Inside Flap:
recipes and techniques Lorenza de'Medici developed at her internationally famous cooking school in Tuscany, this gastronomic guide contains more than 300 elegant but simple recipes, from antipasti to first and second courses, from breads and cheeses to sauces and salads. But this is more than a guide to creating elegant dinners. It is an immensely useful and practical guide for contemporary hosts--with recipes that take a minimal amount of time and preparation. Accompanied by 100 beautiful full-color photographs, THE VILLA TABLE is a satsifying feast for the eyes as well as the appetite.
From Publishers Weekly:
The Villa Table, the school offering classes in cookery by de' Medici at the author's Tuscany estate, now yields a cookbook. And it begins with a disclaimer. "I am not a professional cook," announces the author, who has been publishing cookbooks for the last 20 years. Hoping to reassure readers whose ways in the kitchen may be casual, she explains that she herself never had all the time in the world to spare for cookery, and that personal taste, not merely that of the experts, should be one's principle arbiter. The advice is ingratiating, though some of the recipes outstrip it in fineness of goal; a few others (e.g., spaghetti frittata) may be almost too simple. But the general standard is rich, taking in antipasti, first and second courses, vegetables, breads and sweets (an apricot caramel custard and a peach meringue are especially tempting), sauces and cheeses. The look of the book, too, is delicately ornate, with photographs that aspire to the aesthetic. It's difficult not to respond, not to glide toward the kitchen.
