all‘orto

Orto means vegetable garden in Italian. Without Ortaggi - good vegetables from the garden or the market - the Italian is hopelessly lost. With virtuosity, he conjures up bittersweet salads, addictive antipasti, perfect pasta accompaniments, satisfying soups or side dishes that could actually stand on their own. Any number of vegetable varieties and incomparable ways of preparing them ensure variety and diversity of taste. Meanwhile, vegetables full of character such as Cime di rapa, Catalogna, Barba di frate, Radicchio, Castelfranco or Puntarelle can be found in the shops. Claudio Del Principe picks out the perfect Italian recipes, explains their origin, tradition and preparation variations, and complements them with his own contemporary creations and inspiring thoughts.
