Book Description
This is the story of Pina, who has felt like a stranger all her life, but finally finds her place in the world. We accompany Pina from Switzerland, where she grows up, via England to Israel, back to Switzerland and finally on a journey of a special kind: a shaman's journey. As the granddaughter of Italian immigrants, Pina looks different from other children: she has black hair and darker skin. That's not the only difference: Pina is guileless and sometimes naive and, unlike others, is not just looking out for her own advantage. She is often ostracized, but she also celebrates triumphs. Hard-working and diligent, she achieves everything she sets out to do despite many obstacles. In the end, she also manages to go on a shamanic journey that changes her life.

Al Dente
Author: Fabio Parasecoli
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1780232969
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Spaghetti with meatballs, fettuccine alfredo, margherita pizzas, ricotta and parmesan cheeses—we have Italy to thank for some of our favorite comfort foods. Home to a dazzling array of wines, cheese, breads, vegetables, and salamis, Italy has become a mecca for foodies who flock to its pizzerias, gelateries, and family-style and Michelin-starred restaurants. Taking readers across the country’s regions and beyond in the first book in Reaktion’s new Foods and Nations series, Al Dente explores our obsession with Italian food and how the country’s cuisine became what it is today. Fabio Parasecoli discovers that for centuries, southern Mediterranean countries such as Italy fought against food scarcity, wars, invasions, and an unfavorable agricultural environment. Lacking in meat and dairy, Italy developed foodways that depended on grains, legumes, and vegetables until a stronger economy in the late 1950s allowed the majority of Italians to afford a more diverse diet. Parasecoli elucidates how the last half century has seen new packaging, conservation techniques, industrial mass production, and more sophisticated systems of transportation and distribution, bringing about profound changes in how the country’s population thought about food. He also reveals that much of Italy’s culinary reputation hinged on the world’s discovery of it as a healthy eating model, which has led to the prevalence of high-end Italian restaurants in major cities around the globe. Including historical recipes for delicious Italian dishes to enjoy alongside a glass of crisp Chianti, Al Dente is a fascinating survey of this country’s cuisine that sheds new light on why we should always leave the gun and take the cannoli.
