Splendido. Italienische Produktkunde und Rezepte

In the many years that Mercedes Lauenstein and Juri Gottschall have been dealing with shopping, cooking and enjoyment for their online magazine, they have learned one thing: the most important ingredient for a good meal is quality. The better the products used, the shorter the list of ingredients, because good food usually stands so impressively on its own that any additional accompaniment is more distracting than complementary.
But what are good products anyway? Where do you find them, how do you recognise them and how do you process them? In their second book, the winners of the German Cookbook Award 2022 focus on the aspect of commodity knowledge of Italian products. Whether vegetables, herbs, cheese or fats, Italian cuisine is and remains the master of product quality, biodiversity and maximum simplicity with maximum creativity. It works best where the uncompromisingly high-quality basic product is allowed to be the real star. For each product group there are the best recipes in the tried and tested Splendido style - without dogmas and quantity specifications for more fun, self-empowerment and success in cooking.
