{"product_id":"my-calabria","title":"My Calabria","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt the far southern end of Italy's \"boot\" lies Calabria. It is a beautiful, mountainous region populated by fishermen and small farmers. \u003c\/strong\u003eRosetta Costantino grew up in this rugged land -- her father a shepherd and cheese maker and her mother his tireless assistant. When her family immigrated to Oakland, California, they re-created a little Calabria on their property, cooking with eggplant, tomatoes, and peppers from their garden, making fresh ricotta and pasta fashioned from scratch. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Calabrians, they are master preservers and continue to transform fresh figs into jam, to can fresh tuna in oil, and to sun-dry peppers for the winter. Now Rosetta shares her family's story and introduces readers to the simplicity of Calabrian food with 150 recipes. The first major cookbook of a little-known region of Italy, 'My Calabria' celebrates the region's rich way of life and the allure of its cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosetta gives us the full range of dishes from antipasti to desserts. Each recipe calls for only a handful of ingredients for a scrumptious meal that comes together quickly. You'll also learn about the cheeses, salumi, and pastas unique to Calabria, illustrated in full-color photographs, and you'll find recipes for curing olives, preserving fresh vegetables, and making fruit jams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong this book's unique features: color photographs shot on location in Calabria and in Rosetta's (and her parents') backyard in Oakland; suggestions for Southern Italian wines with nearly every recipe; valuable ingredient notes and sources on the staples of the Calabrian pantry; and an armchair tour with detailed descriptions of the region's provinces and specialties. This is a cookbook for our time: a reminder of how ingenious cooks can create a delicious local cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"W. W.
