A brand new collection of recipes from Anna Del Conte that make vegetables the star of the show. Organised in an A-Z format from aglio to zucchina, Anna presents classic dishes alongside her own personalised (many previously unpublished) recipes created throughout her years as a writer. These range from classic recipes to more adventurous dishes including panzanella, parmigiana di melanzane, fiori di zucca fritti and beetroot or pumpkin gnocchi. Whilst Anna embraces classic Italian flavours, she ensures that the vegetable in the dish is at the heart of each recipe in her signature style. This is a celebration of vegetables that praises the flavour and texture of each individual root, squash, herb and pulse to teach a new generation of cooks how to enjoy fresh seasonal produce at any time of year.

Not quite the Italian Larousse Gastronomique, but a reasonably close contender. --Library Journal on Gastronomy of Italy
Highly recommended for culinary history and reference collections. New full-page color photographs make this especially coffee table-worthy for Italian food lovers. --LibraryJournal.com on Gastronomy of Italy
Both for its value as the ultimate encyclopedia of Italian cuisine and for the authentic deliciousness of its recipes, Gastronomy of Italyis a book for food lovers of every every cuisine -CookingbytheBook.com on Gastronomy of Italy
Classic Food of Northern Italy . . . is available in the United States, where the author has remained mostly undiscovered. This might just be the book to change that. Three of its recipes . . . showcase the simplicity, approachability and timelessness of her work, and the undeniable deliciousness of her food. --Washington Post
