Budget cookery Books

Book SynopsisThe Italians call it l'arte dell'arrangiarsi, or the "art of making do with what you've got." This centuries-old approach to ingredients and techniques, known as cucina povera, or peasant cooking, reveals the soul of Italian food at its best. It starts with the humblest components-beans and lentils, inexpensive fish and cuts of meat, vegetables from the garden, rice, pasta, leftovers-and through the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the cook, results in unforgettably delicious and satisfying meals. In 100 recipes, Cucina Povera celebrates the best of this tradition, from the author's favourite, pappa al pomodoro (aka leftover bread and tomato soup), to Florentine Beef Stew, Nettle and Ricotta Gnudi, and Sicilian Watermelon Pudding. Soul satisfying, super healthy, budget-friendly, and easy to make, it's exactly how so many of us want to eat today.Trade Review“Italian cooks are known for their ability to turn humble ingredients into delicious food. But in the hands (and kitchen) of Tuscan food writer Giulia Scarpaleggia, the art of la cucina povera shines with new allure. Giulia’s deep knowledge of and respect for her native country’s culinary traditions come through in every recipe of this beautifully photographed book.”—Domenica Marchetti, author of Preserving Italy“For resourceful home cooks who prefer a farm-to-table approach and Italian flair, this book is a must.”—Publishers Weekly“I rarely open a cookbook and want to make several recipes immediately. But it happened! Here is a creative yet practical book with stunning photos. The produce-forward dishes remind me of Cal-Ital cooking in upscale restaurants, yet the ingredients are humble. It’s a cookbook worth adding to your stack.”—Dianne Jacob, author of Will Write for Food“Cucina Povera invites you into the heart of Italian home cooking with open arms, and reminds you that good food is—and always has been—simple, sustainable, and cheap. Giulia’s writing is as beautiful and warm as the dishes she makes; this book is an essential resource for any Italian-food lover, but it’ll also make you want to run to the kitchen and cook.”—Meryl Feinstein, founder of Pasta Social ClubTable of ContentsCONTENTS Introduction The Italian PantryVegetables: Cooking from the Garden Roasted Pepper Rolls Stuffed with Tuna and Capers Vegetable Soup Onion Soup from Calabria Rice and Pea Soup Roasted Squash Risotto Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe Foraged Herb Tortelli with Walnut Pesto Rice-Stuffed Tomatoes Potato-and-Mushroom–Stuffed Zucchini Bread-and-Cheese–Stuffed Eggplant Bread-and-Anchovy–Stuffed Green Sweet Peppers Artichoke, Fava Bean, Pea, and Lettuce Stew Summer Vegetable Stew Vegetable StockBeef, Pork, and Lamb: Offal and Affordable Cuts of Meat Beef Stock and Boiled Beef Veal Tongue with Parsley Sauce Oxtail Stew with Rigatoni Stewed Tripe Milanese-Style Braised Veal Shank with Saffron Risotto Florentine Beef Stew Onion-Stewed Calf’s Liver Pork Stew with Savoy Cabbage Pork Stew Braised in White Wine Roasted Pork Liver Skewers Stewed Lamb with Eggs and Cheese Savory Swiss Chard and Parmigiano-Reggiano PiePoultry and Rabbit: Recipes from the Farmyard Chicken Liver Spread Rabbit Preserved in Olive Oil Chicken Stock Roman Egg Drop Soup Boiled Chicken Salad Chicken Cacciatore Frittata Cooked in Tomato Sauce Flatbread with Tomato Sauce and Poached Eggs Chicken and Pork Lasagne Stuffed Turkey Breast Roulade Roasted SquabFish and Seafood: Italian Pesce Povero Anchovy and Garlic Dip Sweet-and-Sour Sardines with Onions Potato and Dried Stockfish Puree Pasta with Anchovy, Onion, and Black Pepper Sauce Squid Ink Risotto Mussel, Potato, and Rice Gratin Fish Soup Baked Salt Cod with Potatoes Grilled Mackerel with Salmoriglio Sauce Sea Bream Stewed with TomatoesMilk and Cheese: Dairy-Based Meals Pecorino and Pear Crostoni Cheese-and-Egg Balls Stewed in Tomato Sauce Fried Mozzarella Sandwiches Cheese and Potato Cake Nettle and Ricotta Gnudi Hand-Pulled Pici Pasta with Cheese and Black Pepper Buckwheat Pasta with Cabbage and Cheese Passatelli with Parmigiano-Reggiano Sauce Fontina and Savoy Cabbage Bread Casserole Ligurian Spinach and Ricotta PieBeans, Chickpeas, Fava Beans, and Lentils: Plant-Based Proteins Bean and Tuna Salad Tuscan Chickpea Cake Chickpea Flour Fritters in Sesame Seed Buns Fava Bean Puree with Chicory Pasta and Bean Soup Fresh Pasta and Chickpea Soup Umbrian Lentil Stew Chickpea and Chard Stew Bean and Lacinato Kale Soup Kale and Borlotti Polenta Bake Potatoes, Corn, and Chestnuts: Staples from the Mountain Regions Pasta with Potatoes and Provolone Cheese Savoy Cabbage and Barley Soup Baked Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella Chestnut and Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Walnut Sauce Sardinia Potato and Cheese Tortelli Beet Tortelli with Poppy Seed Sauce Summer Borlotti Bean and Corn Soup Polenta with Butter and Cheese Potato, Chestnut, and Porcini Soup Chestnut Flour Maltagliati with Porcini SauceLeftovers: Making the Most of What You’ve Got Roman Fried Rice Balls Sicilian Fried Rice Balls Sausage and Cheese Bake Tomato Bread Soup Tomato Bread Salad Bitter Greens and Semolina Bread Soup Bread Dumplings Spinach Bread Dumplings with Butter and Sage Sauce Ricotta Pasta Parcels Fried Beef and Mortadella Meatballs Beef Stew with Onions and Tomatoes Spaghetti FrittataDesserts: Making Do for Cakes, Tarts, Puddings, and Cookies Too Apple Olive Oil Cake Bread Pudding Cake Grape Focaccia Chestnut Flour Cake Short-Crust Pastry Tart with Jam Pumpkin Tart Amaretti and Milk Pudding Pastry Cream and Chocolate Trifle Sicilian Almond Milk Pudding Sicilian Watermelon Pudding Elderflower Fritters Polenta Cookies with Dried Elderflowers Nut Biscotti Wine and Olive Oil CookiesPreserves: Saving the Seasons Tuscan Fresh Herb Salt Dried Salt-Cured Black Olives Baby Artichokes Preserved in Olive Oil Mixed Pickled Vegetables Pickled Peppers in Vinegar Garlicky Tomato Sauce Blackberry Jam Quince Paste Quince, Pear, and Fig Compote Almond-Stuffed Dried Figs Spiced Green Walnut Liqueur Lemon LiqueurBread: Our Daily Loaves Tuscan Bread Semolina Bread Potato Bread Chestnut Flour Bread Olive Oil Focaccia Ring-Shaped Crackers with Fennel Seeds Twice-Baked Ring-Shaped Bread Thin Flatbread from Romagna

When it comes to dads, you can’t go wrong with finger-licking good, easy-to-prepare appetizers, snacks, meats, veggies, and desserts!Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR THE FIX-IT AND FORGET-IT SERIES“[Phyllis Good] is basically one of the queens of slow cooker recipes.”–Booking Mama“Compared with recent ethnic and gourmet slow cooker titles, Good’s latest is a workhorse. Filled with unintimidating, pantry-friendly dishes, this volume will please busy cooks, new slow cooker owners, and party givers. Highly recommended.”–Library Journal“Fans of Good’s best-selling slow-cooker recipe books won’t be disappointed with her latest installment. Good provides plenty of practical tips about what she calls a near miracle appliance. For example, take time to get acquainted with a new slow cooker, fill it two-thirds full for best results, and try out recipes for the first time when at home for the day. And she dispels two big myths: that her beloved machine is a winter-time appliance and that it’s mainly just for beef stew. Fuggedaboutit. True, many of the 250 recipes are for main dishes made with chicken, turkey, pork, or beef. But she gives even more space to pasta, soups, quiches, appetizers, breakfasts, breads, and desserts. Why not wake up to steel-cut oatmeal that’s been slow cooking overnight? The slow cooker can even bake peach cobbler or a fudgy chocolate cake. Each recipe comes with a photo, some (such as mashed potatoes) get a quick and easy label, and several get a bonus tip from Good (such as cooking wine is wine with salt added). With good recipes and good vibes, the latest Fix-It and Forget-It cookbook is bound to be a best-seller.–Booklist *starred review*“Not only was it a help to me to get some meals started, but it also educated me. As I look back on my cooking skills now (10 years removed from being a newlywed), the book has helped me learn how to make a big hunk of meat taste good. And for that, I’m eternally grateful… Get the book and use it… Definitely worth the money, and I don’t usually say that about cookbooks!”–Mostly Sensible“The bottom line is that for a list price of $15.95 THE BOOK IS A BARGAIN! Let's face it, most slow cookers come with instructions and a few recipes, but the recipes can't possibly be as good as the ones the Phyllis Pellman Good has included in 10 cookbooks she has penned. She is doing something right; after all over 9.8 million copies have been sold! So, goodcooking.com likes this book and feels that just about anyone who is into slow cookers will have many happy results. The book may certainly spur interest in buying a slow cooker if you haven't cooked with this method before!”–Good Cooking“This cook book is so much fun. I love how the recipes are organized by specific dish. For instance, if you're looking for a beef stew recipe, the book gives you five or six recipe options, all in a row. You can decide what sounds tastiest to you (or what you have on hand). When you open the book, you feel like you've opened your mother's recipe box and it is obvious that these are tried and true household favorites. Bring on the comfort food!”–Blog Mistress Mandy“An assortment of fond kitchen memories from across the country, Good's [Mom and Me in the Kitchen] reads like an extended Mother's Day card.”–Publishers Weekly“The mother of all slow cooker cookbooks! The Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook has been my go to resource since I first bought my slow cooker as a newlywed back in 2002… This book really gave me a feel for how recipes come together… If you’re a novice with the slow cooker this is a book that I highly recommend.”–Frankly Entertaining“This book is designed for home cooks who have to cook most everyday. It’s packed with relatively simple recipes that can help you get a light and healthy dinner on the table day in and day out. And it’s Weight Watchers friendly since the recipes include the nutritional information required to calculate PointsPlus values.”–Simple Nourished Living“Wintry weather seems to demand slow-simmered soups and stews, and the bestselling Fix-it and Forget-it series has long been a source for these and other Crock-Pot meals. Good, who edited those homey collections, returns with a useful new diabetic edition. Each of the hundreds of recipes for appetizers, main courses, soups, vegetables, breakfast dishes and snacks comes with a nutritional analysis, and timely health tips are scattered among the recipes.”–Publishers Weekly“At the end of the day this is one of the few books I review that I am actually keeping and cooking from on a regular basis! It is a book I would buy and give as a gift. It is a book worth using time and time again!”–Mirlandra’s Kitchen“Paging through this book makes you feel as if you are in a wonderful community of seasoned cooks who take pride in serving up sumptuous meals to friends and family while relaxing and enjoying their company… I found something on every page that I wanted to make… Can I hear a ‘Hallelujah?’”–Pattie Tierney“Recipes here are perfect for every season and occasion, and feature more than just the usual soup, stews, and casseroles… After looking through the recipe book, which consists of hundreds of recipes contributed by cooks throughout North America, I realized I really underestimated the practicality of a slow cooker. The Fix-It and Forget-It Slow Cooker Magic recipe book [is] very practical, and I can't wait to try out more recipes!”–Hawaii Mom Blog“The Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook is a visual experience: it pops with all the vivid colors of the crayon box; it is printed with youthful, sketchy fonts and inspiration-board style post-it note and paperclip graphics; best yet, it has a beautiful, full-page photo for EVERY SINGLE RECIPE included. Now THAT is not something you see in cookbooks very often. Even just skimming through the Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook assured me that my salivation glands were very much intact… This cookbook is very well thought out.
