This is a little book of secrets; a love story. It is a map for a new, yet ancient, alchemical journey into one of the most neglected forms of art. Its’ not about recipes; its’ about the philosophy of cooking. Have you ever wondered why pasta comes in so many different shapes, colours and flavours? Or tried to figure out the secret of a good pizza? Have you tried to crack the mystery of which sauce goes best with a particular vegetable or meat and given up in confusion? In this delightful little book on Italian cooking lie the answers to all your questions. Besides providing tried and tested recipes for popular Italian dishes such as lasagne, ravioli, minestrone and risotto, it initiates you into the intricacies of the Italian kitchen: the ingredients (as well as substitutes for things not available in Indian stores), equipment and–most important of all-the not-so-well-known little tips that make all the difference between good and unforgettable. A heady cocktail of love-soaked food and entertaining anecdotes which traverse Italy and India with equal ease, Food is Home is the perfect introduction to great Italian cooking.
