Description

Massimo Bottura is the Jimi Hendrix of Italian chefs. He takes familiar dishes and classical flavors and techniques and turns them on their heads in a way that is innovative, boundary-breaking, sky-kissing, and entirely whimsical, but ultimately timeless, and most importantly, deliciously satisfying. Never Trust a Skinny Italian Chef is a tribute to Bottura's twenty-five year career and the evolution of Osteria Francescana, his three Michelin star restaurant based in Modena, Italy, voted number 2 in The 50 Best Restaurant Awards 2015. Divided into four chapters, each one dealing with a different period, the book features 50 recipes and stories explaining Bottura's inspirations (including the music and art that motivates him), ingredients, and techniques. Follow Bottura as he pries, pokes, and questions the authority of tradition, and in result creates whimsical dishes with a wink such as Memory of a Mortadella Sandwich, Tortellini Walking on Broth, and Oops! I Dropped the Lemon Tart! Illustrated with specially commissioned color photography by contemporary artists Stefano Graziani and Carlo Benvenuto, and featuring a conversation between Bottura and artist Maurizio Cattelan, Never Trust a Skinny Italian Chef will delight and inspire chefs, Italian food lovers, and fans of creative cuisine alike.
