Two greedy italians eat Italy

More about the book

Following the success of Two Greedy Italians, Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo embark on a journey to explore Italy's distinct and varied terrains, and to find out how these have shaped the produce and, in turn, the peoples and their traditions. They venture into the Alps for comfort food - heart-warming dishes based around the use of butter, potatoes, polenta and rice. They head to the coast to uncover the many delicious fish and shellfish dishes, as well as the distinctive cuisine of the Italian islands. Finally, they examine the rich agricultural plains through which flow some of the greatest rivers in Europe - in particular the Po in the north and the Tiber in the centre - revealing their historic influence on the foods grown and cooked within these regions.
