Puglia: A Culinary Memoir
The first book in the new Italy's Food Culture series of cookbooks, translated from the original Italian, by Oronzo Editions, Puglia: A Culinary Memoir, covers a regional cuisine that I would venture not too many Americans are familiar with. Personally, I did not know much about the cooking of the Puglia. Being a bread baker, I was familiar with the two famous breads from the region, Pane Pugliese and Pane di Altamura, but that was extent of my knowledge, before reading this volume. The author, Maria Pignatelli Ferrante, does a comprehensive job of chronicalling what the preface refers to as "the miracle of the cooking of Puglia."
Hand-Rolled Lasagna
Hand rolling each lasagna noodle is a wonderful way to not only make this classic comfort food look fancy, but it allows you to customize each piece--if you want to--without having to make a full tray of the flat, layered type. So, if someone doesn't care for peppers, for example, you can easily leave them out. It's also a perfect solution if you want to make lasagna for just a few.
