Enoteca Cookbook - Italian Wine Bar Recipes

Additional Details

Description: Join award-winning author Joyce Goldstein as she explores the world of regional Italian wine bars in Enoteca: Simple, Delicious Recipes in the Italian Wine Bar Tradition. 

Today, wine bars are cropping up in many bustling urban areas as the trend toward casual, more relaxed dining continues. Goldstein brings the allure of the enoteca home to those who like to take the time to enjoy life's simple pleasures: good food, good wine, good conversation.Through a wealth of authentic recipes and expert wine pairings by Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein, Enoteca inspires home chefs to make a meal of many small dishes. Eat less, but taste more—a great way to discover the terrain of both food and wine. 

Enjoy a crisp, chilled orvieto or chardonnay accompanied by the flavors of saffron-enhanced Arancine di riso alio zafferano -- rice croquettes -- and end a hectic day Italian style. Sample Rotoli di pasta, or Stuffed Pasta Rolls, made with a variety of delectable fillings. Dazzle guests with Code di scampi del Tirreno, Shrimp Wrapped in Pancetta, drizzled with a savory cognac sauce. And no enoteca experience would be complete without concluding the meal with some Italian sweets. Follow the seasons with a Crostata di formaggio e frutta, Mascarpone and Fruit Tart—try berries or apricots in summer, and in late fall, sliced apples or pears sauteed in butter and a bit of sugar. With gorgeous color photographs and over 70 delicious recipes, Enoteca is a celebration of Italy's beloved food and wine tradition. 

So gather some friends, open a bottle of wine, and let the tasting begin. At last, here is your passport to la dolce vita!
