A food journey along Italy’s Adriatic coast to discover authentic dishes off the tourist trail. The Italian coast of the Adriatic Sea runs from the tip of the heel of the boot-shap ed peninsula at the Ionian Sea to the northern waters of the Gulf of Trieste. Along its length are rugged rocky coastlines, sandy stretches of beach, lagoons and wetlands. Spindly wooden fishing piers, white-washed walls, colorful villages and sea-facing piazze dot the 750-mile coastline, with a history touched by Etruscan, Greek, Roman, Venetian and Austrian populations. The food of the Adriatic mirrors the memories and traditions of peoples past and present who have lived on its shores, with ingredients reflecting the climate and terrain. Join Paola on this beautiful journey with 80 authentic recipes from the region. Random House Paola Bacchia was born to Italian migrant parents and into their food culture. 240 Pages 8"W x 9.96"H x 1.09"D Manufacturer Style No. 9781923049529 Show more
