Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Created for Italian food-lovers, this book features 100 delicious and simple family-friendly dishes. The authentic collection of recipes, cooking tips, and cultural tidbits will have home cooks exploring the delights of real Italian cooking while mastering the techniques for making one of the world's most popular cuisines. Italian cuisine reigns as queen of Mediterranean cuisines. In addition to its wealth of agricultural land, Italy has a unique history which made the country's gastronomy (especially in the southern regions) heterogeneous, multifaceted, diverse, and capable of countless variations on a relatively limited range of products. Love for food, respect for the land, imagination, and the ability to utilize every taste and ingredient to its fullest potential- these elements were solidified over centuries, giving rise to a cultural and material treasure trove of recipes, traditional products, and delicacies. This book unites a selection of the best 100 recipes-traditional, contemporary, and entirely Mediterranean-with in-depth explanations of their history and importance beyond merely a taste profile. Science may have proven the nutritional value of the Mediterranean diet, but rediscovering local recipes without knowledge of their roots, or choosing them for nutritional reasons alone, would be only half the story. the teachings of the past allow us to grasp the meaning of a tradition, to follow it, and to reinterpret it, adapting it to the times we live in. After all, the history of the Mediterranean and its extraordinary gastronomic culture is still being made today. AUTHOR: Academia Barilla was established in Parma in 2004 with the aim of safeguarding, developing and promoting the most genuine aspects of the Italian regional culture and cuisine. Based on the guiding principle that underlies this prestigious institute's philosophy that of food as culture Academia Barilla offers food lovers and professional chefs around the globe a fully-rounded overview of Italy, through technical training, high quality products, wine and food experiences, and corporate services. 105 colour photographs. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The passing of the greatest Mediterranean civilizations and the hallmarks left by great men - poets, painters and navigators - profoundly marked the southernmost region of Iberia where the tip of Europe and the tip of Africa, known as the Pillars of Hercules, almost touch.A generous land by nature, Andalusia reveals her unique treasures in a trip that follows the traces of the Moors who entered via Gibraltar and those of the Christians who re-conquered al-Andaluz: the white beaches on the blue of the Atlantic, the anachronistic caves in Guadix, the cathedrals-cum-mosques, the red fortress in Granada, the wilderness of the Coto Donana and the futuristic Seville Expo. The history of Andalusia is relived in the region's thousands of age-old traditions and celebrations that embody the "Andalusianness" so much talked of but offering so much to be discovered.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Pasta is truly a gastronomic galaxy. An ever new adventure in terms of shapes, colors, scents, styles, and flavours; and in terms of cooking, histories, condiments. Conquering the world with its record for taste and creativity from the cuisine of Italy, where there is a national monument to good food and good living. The different kinds of pasta can be distinguished according to their shape: long, short, and minute. Academia Barilla, an international centre dedicated to the diffusion of Italian gastronomy, has selected the 50 pasta-based recipes in this book. Some are typical of the Bel Paese cuisine and famous throughout the world, such as Penne alla Norma or Penne all'Arrabbiata, or the well-known Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Spaghetti alla Puttanesca, or the typical Bucatini all'Amatriciana and Bucatini Cacio e Pepe. But also justly renowned are Trofie al Pesto, Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa, and Linguine allo Scoglio. Still other first course dishes were created by matching the pasta to ingredients from Italian gastronomic tradition: cheeses such as Gorgonzola or Pecorino Romano; or cured meats, such as speck or Parma ham; or the traditional balsamic vinegar from Modena; or mushrooms; or sun-dried tomatoes. Always bearing respect and love for primary ingredients, and with great technique, following the simplicity that also becomes elegance. But above all, the desire to communicate and share all the convivial spirit of pasta. Colour photographs. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The idea behind the board book collection was to attract even the youngest readers (from as young as 2 years old); to encourage them to discover subjects and areas that interest them (nature, animals, shapes, etc.) and to help them classify the things that surround them. The series is comprised of ten little books. Two are instructive, teaching shapes and numbers; five are exploratory and describe settings that are fun to discover (farm animals, wild animals, the backyard and its insects, the vegetable garden) and three are short stories about the experience of birth in nature (the birth of a little bird, of a butterfly and of a flower). Narration becomes the background for the text since touching and picture readings are the primary means of interpretation. A guiding character accompanies the child throughout each developing story until the end, where there is a summary of all the characters introduced in the book. Consistent with the Montessori approach, the child is encouraged to interact independently with his or her book. For example, in some cases, the child is asked to use a finger to trace the outline of a shape and notice its characteristics (round, sharp-edged, jagged, etc.). In others, he or she is asked to use a finger to follow a path in order to discover hidden characters and learn to associate them with their most distinctive features (the lions tail, the rabbits ears, the colours of vegetables, etc.). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The series, devoted to "Adventure Classics", features best selling travel literature, the famous books that have sparked our imagination. The events that have marked the history of archaeology, sailing, mountain climbing and geographical exploration are brought back to life by the words of those who experienced them firsthand, brushing away the dust of time. The vibrant voice of the captain of the HMS Bounty, Carter's innermost thoughts when he peered into Tutankhamun's tomb, the dramatic accounts of Speke and Grant, and the detailed portrayal of Darwin's voyage open windows to a past that is still alive and full of the kinds of emotions that only masterpieces can convey. This is a series that perfectly complements traditional topics and high quality publications: the search for the boundaries of knowledge, adventure, the exploration of nature, and the quest to understand man's past and present. These pocket-sized books are inexpensive, yet they are beautifully printed and bound to offer a top-quality publication. Sixteen colour plates supplement the texts, providing readers with historical documents and portraits, maps, ancient charts and colour photographs in order to portray the main characters, their surroundings, and the scenarios in which they played their roles. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
