“ The first chapter in this recipe-book, the first one we are doing together, is devoted to a series of recipes that we like to define as ‘movements’, because this is their primary characteristic. Be it animal or vegetable, this is a movement that interests us: such as salads, which make up the bulk of the preparations included in this section. It is typical of our cooking tradition, forever ebullient, never satisfied, restless and forever defying monuments.”
Italian Taste is a collection of signature-cuisine recipes created by top Italian Chefs, all of whom trained at Alma, the world’s leading international educational and training centre for Italian cuisine. The book is enriched by a special section dedicated to a conversation between Gualtiero Marchesi, the best-known Italian Chef in the world, and Massimo Montanari, internationally-renowned food and nutrition historian.
This is a unique and extraordinary collection which is indispensable both to professionals and to those who are just passionate about cooking. The superb, surprising and unmistakable photographs by Arturo Delle Donne, Alma’s tasty-food photographer, capture and complete what each Chef communicates through flavour.
