Antipasti, Pasta and Pizza (Cucina Italiana S.) - Tapa dura

Lightness, flavour, aroma and eye-appeal are the hallmarks of this series of four books on Italian cuisine. This guide covers antipasti (literally "before the pasta"), pasta and pizza. Fresh pasta comes in many guises and is arguably the most subtle, yet simple way to a gourmet's heart. How to make pasta dough is explained and recipes for various dishes are included, designed for busy but adventurous cooks.
