The Art of Traditional Italian

Written by Lucio Galletto

Without an understanding of tradition, you cannot make real Italian food!

The Art Of Traditional Italian $60.00

Lucio Galletto grew up in a village on the Ligurian coast of Italy, where his parents had a restaurant.  In The Art of Traditional Italian, he celebrates La Cucina Italiana: the flavours, the history and the techniques of Italian cuisine, perfected over centuries.  All you favourites are here – vitello tonnato, spring minestrone, risotto alla milanese, eggplant parmigiana, veal saltimbocca and tiramisu, along with many more classic dishes you'll wish you'd tried sooner.

This book is a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds – original artworks from some of Australia's finest artists accompany the recipes in this exciting collaboration between Lucio and the long-time friends whose art famously lines the walls of his Sydney restaurant, Lucio's.  This is food from the heart – passionate, generous and authentic.

Lucio's eponymous restaurant is famously lined with artworks by some of Australia's most accomplished artists, and this book follows suit - each chapter features original artwork from one of his artist friends. A feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds, this glorious book will become a treasured addition to the shelves of cooks and artists everywhere.

The Art of Pasta

View sample pages

Written by Lucio Galletto and David Dale
Art by Luke Sciberras

'Ci facciamo un piatto di pasta!' (Let's make a plate of pasta!)

The Art Of Pasta $59.95

To help you make your own plates of pasta, here are detailed instructions for making and cutting pasta (including pasta flavoured with herbs, porcini, saffron and squid ink), and for making simple filled pastas and perfect gnocchi.

To accompany your pasta, choose from an array of mouth-watering pestos –from the definitive Ligurian version made with basil and pine nuts to a vibrant-green pistachio pesto and a versatile orange and almond pesto that's equally good stirred through freshly cooked linguine, served with couscous or used as the basis of a salad dressing.

Simple dishes mark the passage of the seasons, such as tagliatelle served with raw mushrooms in autumn, or with the first thin spears of asparagus in spring.  In the cooler days of winter, authentic recipes for slow-cooked ragus (including a classic Bolognese sauce that has stood the test of time) really come into their own, filling the house with wonderful aromas.

For the more adventurous cook, Lucio's executive chef Logan Campbell has contributed some contemporary interpretations of classic pasta dishes, including rabbit cannelloni with Jerusalem artichoke sauce and beetroot gnocchi with pancetta and goat's cheese.

The Art of Pasta Collectors Edition $250.00

This special collector's edition is beautifully presented in a slipcase. Each copy of the book, which is signed by the authors, comes with a signed and numbered limited-edition etching from renowned artist Luke Sciberras.

The pleasures of the Italian Riviera
Written by Lucio Galletto and David Dale
Photography by Paul Green

A beautifully photographed book featuring delicious recipes from Liguria, the birthplace of ravioli and pesto.

Description:

Liguria is another country - they do things differently there, especially when it comes to food.

Lucio Galletto grew up on Italy's sunny North West coastline, working in his family's seafood restaurant, but moved to Australia for love. Now he returns to his homeland and discovers exciting changes.

The traditional repertoire of pesto, ravioli and wild greens pie has been expanded in the 21st century by chefs applying a lighter touch and a more adventurous spirit. Lucio reveals 180 delicious recipes that respect the experience of the past and anticipate the demands of the future.

Soffritto

SOFTCOVER

View sample pages

Lived by Lucio Galletto. Written by David Dale

A love story, a war adventure, a family saga, a travel memoir - Soffritto is also a guide to an undiscovered part of Italy.

Description

Every Italian cook has a soffritto - the 'starter kit' of olive oil, herbs, garlic and other core ingredients from which a great dish is built. Lucio Galletto was in search of the soffritto of his life.

In 1938, 16-year-old Anna Galletto ran away with Gino Guelfi, the charming gelato maker she'd met at a local dance. In 1943, Anna's brother Mauro escaped from a German prison camp and hunted fascists in the marble mountains of Carrara. In 1951, Mauro and Gino built a shack on a beach next to the ruins of a 2000-year-old Roman city. They started selling fish soup to the artists and writers who were holidaying in the area and became legendary for the way they used the local specialties: parmesan, pecorino, olive oil, pasta, pesto, balsamic vinegar, truffles and prosciutto. In 1975, Mauro's son Lucio arrived for work at the restaurant, fell in love with a beautiful girl sitting in the bar, and ran away with her to Australia.

In a new century, Lucio returns to his birthplace - Lunigiana, in north west Italy - on a mission to understand the family, the food and the culture that prepared him to create a successful restaurant in a new world 17,000 kilometres away. Farmers, fishermen, war heroes, winemakers, waiters, hunters, cooks, cousins, aunts, shepherds and scholars told him their secrets and inspired this story, told beautifully by David Dale.
