Italian Snacking: Sweet and Savory Recipes for Every Hour of the Day - A Cookbook

Description:

About this item:

From mid-morning coffee break spuntini to aperitivi happy-hour bites, explore the culture of Italian snacks and street foods in this mouthwatering cookbook.
Italian food has captivated our taste buds for centuries. Combining simplicity and creativity, it enchants with an alchemy of high-quality ingredients, recipes tied to the specialties of each region, and the experience of being at the table. There is an entire category of smaller bites—spuntini—meant to be enjoyed at in-between-meal moments of the day. This snack cookbook by Italian food expert Anna Francese Gass introduces the American audience to the complete range of spuntini culture, with recipes drawn from all across the country. She shares recipes for spuntini di meta mattina (mid-morning snacks often enjoyed with a second—or third—coffee); merenda, the cherished after-school treat for children (that also offers adults a way to stave off hunger before dinner); and aperitivi, delightful early-evening Italian appetizers meant to be enjoyed with drinks. Also included is a chapter of delicacies from Italy's robust culture of street food (the one instance where Italians might eat on the go). Studded with gorgeous photography of both finished dishes and Italian food markets, cafes, bars, and pasticcerie, this book will elevate your snacking game to the Italian ideal.

With simple yet creative recipes made from quality ingredients, this Italian cookbook brings the same small plate ethos of books like Snacking Cakes and Brilliant Bites to the spuntini, aperitivi, and street food specialtiesthat define Italy's delightful snacking culture.

Beautiful book. Lots of pics and easy to follow recipes. I’ve made several recipes and each one has turned out great. The fried pasta on page 215 was a big hit!

5.0 out of 5 stars If there are two things Anna Gass knows, they are Italian food and SNACKING!

To use Anna's signature phrase, "YUM TO THE YUM!!!!" I have been following Anna on Instagram for years and aside from her approachable "online bestie" vibes, her recipes are amazing. Unlike many of the food influencers online, Anna is classically trained and you can see it in her recipes, both online and in this book. I cannot wait to cook through Italian Snacking this summer. It is a gorgeous love letter to Anna's lineage and her passion for snacky things.
