This book is more than a collection of recipes of \"good food for hard times.\" La cucina povera is a philosophy of not wasting anything edible and of using technique to make every bite as tasty as possible. Budget-conscious dishes utilizing local and seasonal fruits and vegetables create everything from savory pasta sauces  crusty breads and slow-roasted meats to flavorful vegetable accompaniments and end-of-meal sweets.  The recipes inside Cucina Povera have been collected during the more than 20 years Johns has spent in Tuscany. Dishes such as Ribollita (Bread Soup)  Pollo Arrosto al Vin Santo (Chicken with Vin Santo Sauce)  and Ciambellone (Tuscan Ring Cake) are adapted from the recipes of Johns neighbors  friends  and local Italian food producers. Lavish color and black-and-white photographs mingle with Johns recipes and personal reflections to share an authentic interpretation of rustic Italian cooking inside Cucina Povera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789744889909,"sku":"ByrdShop_1449402380","price":37.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781449402389.jpg?v=1784696068","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cucina-povera-tuscan-peasant-cooking-9781449402389","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
