Embark on a culinary journey, from parmigiana di melanzane to carbonara “done wrong”, minestra di verdure and pizzette – along with nonna’s sweet treats! This book is packed with 40 everyday recipes loved by the Platania family, many passed down through generations. Each recipe evokes Luca’s precious memories from his childhood and youth spent in Rome.
Cucina povera, ”poor kitchen”, is a traditional Italian way of cooking that emphasizes simple ingredients. Originating in the Middle Ages when forced to make use of leftovers, cucina povera remains relevant today – after all, making affordable, delicious food is a timeless goal.
You’re about to discover that the best flavors come from knowing how to make the most of genuine ingredients, not from excess. You’ll also find handy tips for stocking your pantry and ways to add your own twist to the recipes.
