چشیدن ایتالیا: ۱۰۰ غذای محبوب

Overview: Let us start with a brief introduction about Italian food. Yummmm ! What can I say ? I've been a major fan of Italian food all my life. I grew up in a village that was full of Italian families, and sampled Italian food at the homes of my friends many times. During the last 10 years I have decided to explore the cuisine much further. Whether it be pizza, pasta or meat dishes, I love them all. Just about every place in the world has an Italian restaurant somewhere. In London alone, there are over a thousand Italian restaurants - doesn't that tell you something ? This is a revelation of the different Italian foods that I have enjoyed over the years. I really have to thank the following families for my gastronomic Italian experiences – the Catenas, Cescuttis, Ciceros, Elleros, Fontanas, Govettos, Ioppos, Marzianos, Mazzaros, Moros, Pizzos, Passeros, Resentes, Rosettos, Scarpas, Zans. Thank you – I salute you all ! I'm sorry if I have left anyone out. It doesn't matter whether the dishes originated in Bologna, Calabria, Florence, Genoa, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Parma, Perugia, Rome, Treviso, Turin, Tuscany, Venice, or Verona, they all taste great as long as they are made according to the original recipes which have been passed down from generation to generation. A typical gastronomic Italian meal can consist of a number of stages, and below I have outlined the ones that you may encounter : Aperitivo – This is usually a drink that can be enjoyed before a large meal. Typical examples are Campari, Aperol, Prosecco, etc. Antipasto – Literally, this means “before the meal” and consists of a small portion of an appetiser, either hot or cold. Primo – This is the “first course” of the meal – it may be a pasta dish, a risotto dish, soup or gnocchi. Secondo - This is the “second course” of the meal. It is usually the main dish, and is either fish or meat. Contorno – This is a side dish that can be served as an accompaniment to the first or second course. It can be a salad or a portion of vegetables. Formaggio e frutta – Literally known as “cheese and fruits”. Not every Italian meal includes this section. Dolce – These are the sweets that may be served after the main courses of the meal and can consist of cookies, cakes, ice cream or tarts. Caffe – The different types of coffees such as espressos, lattes, cappuchinos, macchiattos, etc. Digestivos – These are liqueurs or aperitifs, and may very well be the last item of consumption in your gastronomic meal. Some examples are grappa, amaretto, limoncello, etc. INTRODUCTION 7 1 STARTERS 9 1.1 BRUSCHETTA AL POMODORO 10 1.2 CALAMARI FRITTI 11 1.3 SARDINE PAESANE 13 1.4 FEGATINI DI POLLO ALLA VENEZIANA 14 1.5 MELANZANE ALLA PARMIGIANA 15 1.6 GAMBERONI ALL' AGLIO 17 1.7 BIANCHETTI DIAVOLA 18 1.8 SALSICCIA TOSCANA CON POMODORO 19 1.9 PORTOBELLO AL FORNO 20 1.10 ARANCINI SICILIANO 21 2 SALADS 23 2.2 INSALATA CAPRESE 23 2.1 INSALATA DI MARE 24 2.2 INSALATA CAPRESE 25 3 SIDE ORDERS 35 3.2 FOCACCIA AL POMODORO (TOMATO FOCACCIA BREAD) 35 Soy Dipping Sauce 41 Fritters 41 4 PIZZAS 49 4.2 FIORENTINA 49 5 PASTA 65 5.2 SPAGHETTI ALLA PESCATORA 66 6 MEAT AND FISH 83 7 DESSERTS 97 This is a typical, classical dessert from the isle of Sicily and is best consumed in the winter months, because it is particularly energy-giving. 111 For an 8-inch baking pan 111 For the icing 111 For the garnish 111 Azienda Agricola Valentini Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2002) 121 Marramiero 'Dante Marramiero' Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2003) 121 La Valentina Bellovedere Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2007) 121 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2008) 121 Agriverde Plateo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2008) 121 Fratelli Barba Vigna Franca Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2008) 121 Farnese Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2009) 121 Terra d'Aligi Tolos Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2009) 121 Cantina Zaccagnini San Clemente Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (2009) 121 Marramiero Inferi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva (2010) 121 Brovia Monprivato, Barolo DOCG (1990) 123 Poderi Aldo Conterno Granbussia, Barolo Riserva DOCG (2005) 123 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino, Barolo Riserva DOCG (2006) 123 Vietti Villero, Barolo Riserva DOCG (2007) 123 Paolo Scavino Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva, Barolo DOCG (2008) 123 Ceretto Bricco Rocche, Barolo DOCG (2009) 123 Falletto di Bruno Giacosa 'Le Rocche del Falletto', Barolo DOCG (2009) 123 Vietti Brunate, Barolo DOCG (2010) 123 Roberto Voerzio Brunate, Barolo DOCG (2010) 123 Renato Ratti Rocche dell'Annunziata, Barolo DOCG (2010) 123 Biondi Santi Tenuta Greppo Annata, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2005) 125 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT (2006) 125 Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG (2007) 125 Tenimenti Angelini Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2008) 125 Poliziano Asinone, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG (2009) 125 Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG(2009) 125 Felsina Berardenga Fontalloro Toscana IGT (2010) 125 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2011) 125 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG (2012) 125 Poderi dal Nespoli Celita Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore (2012) 125 Dievole La Vendemmia, Chianti Classico DOCG (2005) 127 Castello di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG (2007) 127 Sensi Chianti DOCG (2008) 127 Santa Margherita Chianti Classico DOCG (2010) 127 Marchesi Mazzei Fonterutoli, Chianti Classico DOCG (2010) 127 Fattoria Selvapiana Chianti Rufina DOCG (2011) 127 Rocca delle Macie Chianti Classico DOCG (2011) 127 Melini Chianti DOCG (2012) 127 Barone Ricasoli 'Brolio', Chianti Classico DOCG (2012) 127 Giuseppe Quintarelli Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (2001) 129 Viviani Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (2005) 129 Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore (2006) 129 Santa Sofia Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (2007) 129 Romano Dal Forno Vigneto Monte Lodoletta Valpolicella Superiore (2008) 129 Zenato Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (2009) 129 Tommaso Bussola Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG (2009) 129 Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore (2010) 129 Gerardo Cesari Bosan Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso (2011) 129 Marion Valpolicella Superiore (2012) 129 9 LIQUEURS 130 10 COFFEES 142 11 BONUS 153 12 GLOSSARY 163
