Offering a fresh approach to the enjoyment of a place, it combines interviews and profiles with beautiful, mouthwatering photography.This book is a homage to those Pugliesi who refuse to turn their backs on their culinary traditions in the face of modern convenience food, and author Christine Smallwood has produced a book dedicated to the art of producing delicious food with good, fresh produce. A series of portraits of the most interesting characters behind some of the best restaurants in Puglia, this guide-cum-cookbook explores not only their cooking but also their stories and views, which are thought-provoking, entertaining and inspiring. Lavishly illustrated throughout, compelling inside stories on the people behind the food accompany original recipes from the chefs themselves ‘“ many never before published ‘“ so that this beautiful new series offers a real insight into some of the best and most fascinating eating and drinking establishments in a region. They range from the stylish and sophisticated to the fun and frivolous, but they all have one thing in common: a genuine appetite for the best that the region can offer. Discover Puglia through tantalizing recipes such as Minestra of Swiss Chard, Mussels, Cherry Tomatoes and Fish Eggs with Toasted Altamura bread, or indulgent desserts such as Bocconotto (sweet pastry filled with cream and bitter cherries). You just hope that the portions will turn out to be as generous as the photographs in this book!
