Stories and Authentic Recipes from Campania

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Join Anthony Riccio and Chef Silvio Suppa for a guided tour of the rich culinary history of southern Italy. Known to the Romans as Campania felix, or "fertile countryside," Chef Silvio's home region of Campania is blessed with rich volcanic soil and warm sea breezes, which has resulted in an exuberant and varied cuisine that draws not only on the region's abundant fresh vegetables and herbs but also centuries of Roman, Arab, Spanish, and French influence. From traditional favorites like eggplant parmiggiana and pasta e fasul to family recipes like Aunt Irma's stuffed peppers and Maria Suppa's zabaglione, Cooking with Chef Silvio offers hearty and heartwarming fare as well as the stories behind the food, a cultural and social history of a region as told through its cuisine.

Autorenporträt

After learning the art of cooking from his grandmother, Silvio Suppa brought his knowledge of l'arte della cucina to the United States in 1968, where he became one of the architects of the cuisine now known as "New Haven Italian." After cooking at New Haven's famed Del Monaco's Restaurant for more than twenty years, he and his wife, Vittoria, moved to Madison, Connecticut, where he continues to serve his beloved Mediterranean classics at Café Allegre and three other restaurants: The Woodwinds, in Branford; Chef Silvio's, in Guilford; and Allegre Gourmet Express, in Madison. I have had the immense pleasure of booking Chef Silvio Suppa on the Fox-TV CT Morning Show several times. People always ask "how can you make Italian food different?" well they have never tasted Silvio's creations. He puts his heart and soul into every dish and it makes you feel as if he is personally preparing it for you! Anthony V. Riccio is Stacks Manager at the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale University. He is the author of The Italian American Experience in New Haven: Images and Oral Histories, also published by SUNY Press, and Boston's North End: Images and Recollections of an Italian-American Neighborhood.
