The author has condensed his lifetime of knowledge and passion for the most popular elements
of Italian cuisine into this book of baking recipes. This title is packed with tips on how to
create his dishes, and advice on the best quality ingredients available. "It is certainly not
a coincidence that some of the rites of the Catholic Church are centred around bread, which
is given to people as a representation of something pure--of life itself," Antonio Carluccio
writes in the introduction to his book Baking which forms part of The Carluccio Collection.
"In fact bread has been the symbol of basic food in Western Society for the last four or five
thousand years, just as rice has been for Eastern cultures." This book will teach you how to
make the whole range of Italian breads, from "Focaccia" to "Cantucci" (Tuscan Almond Biscuits)
to "Panfote" (Traditional Tuscan Cake). Carluccio's delicatessen in Covent Garden, London, is
famous for it's bread and if you can't get there to buy it, this book is the next best thing.
The photographs--by Carluccio's wife Priscilla--are also excellent. --Dale Kneen
