| Summary: |
In a world increasingly dominated by fast food, The Pleasures of Slow Food celebrates authentic flavors, accessible recipes, artisan traditions and the evolution of Slow Food - a worldwide movement founded in Italy that protects food artisans and safeguards the traditions around them. Slow Food is defined by how itʼs made: if itʼs allowed to ripen before itʼs harvested, prepared by hand and enjoyed among friends, itʼs Slow Food. Itʼs a philosophy, a way to farm, a way to cook ... a way to live. In The Pleasures of Slow Food acclaimed writer Corby Kummer engagingly shares the stories of artisans who passionately embody the movementʼs goals and offers their superb recipes along with those of such notable chefs as Alice Waters, Deborah Madison, Rick Bayless, Judy Rodgers, Paul Bertolli and Daniel Boulud - recipes for dishes brimming with regional flavors, and family recipes handed down for generations. Richly illustrated with lush photographs by Susie Cushner, The Pleasures of Slow Food reminds us how to eat well and live well. Includes information on ice wine, stone crabs, artisan made cheese, caciocavallo podolico, Chez Panisse, artisan made meat, rain forests, artisan made sausage, shellfish, artisan made wine, etc.
