Valentina's 4 Seasons Cookbook

Italian cuisine subtly changes emphasis throughout the year, and Valentina’s 4 Seasons Cookbook rejoices in the moods and foods of the seasons with recipes that require a minimum of time in the kitchen. Summer dishes include Sea Bass Baked in a Salt Crust and Strawberries with Mascarpone; autumn brings Duck Breasts with Red Onions and Balsamic Vinegar. For winter, there’s Tuscan Vegetable Soup and Barolo Chicken; and the arrival of spring heralds dishes like Lamb with Olives and Asparagus and Pea Risotto. Fresh seasonal ingredients are the keynote of imaginative food that is as easy to prepare as it is to enjoy.
