Book Description
Dear Reader, If you have not read anything about Danilo and the Chocolate Hills, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Danilo is a good boy, however his decision to skip school and go along with his good friend Carlo to the Chocolate Hills on the island of Bohol sets off a dramatic saga when the Evil Giant of the Hills turned them both into tarsiers. “Tarsiers are small insectivorous, tree-dwelling, nocturnal primate with very large eyes, a long-tufted tail, and very long hind limbs.” From the first book of this series, we have learned that almost two months later, a monkey was able to only save Danilo from the Evil Giant and move him away from the hills into her colony and was able to purify him through moonlight bathing at the seaside. When he got to be a boy again, he was able to go back to his family on the back of a dolphin’s friend named Paco. Day after day, Carlos’s family and friends searched everywhere in and around the Hills, trying to locate Carlo. The sad news was Carlo was nowhere to be found. However, Danilo was determined to find and save his good friend Carlo from the Evil Giant of the Chocolate Hills. This second storybook of the series Danilo and the Chocolate Hills will continue to take you through unusual situations, adventures, and unexpected incidents that young Danilo and his unexpected friends-a dolphin and a monkey will face on their unusual plea to save Carlo from the Evil Giant of the Chocolate Hills.

Di Palo's Guide to the Essential Foods of Italy
Author: Lou Di Palo
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345545818
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
The ultimate guide to the finest foods of Italy from the oldest, most celebrated Italian market in New York City In the heart of New York City’s Little Italy sits Di Palo’s, a family-owned food shop that has been the treasure of the neighborhood for more than a century. The four generations of Di Palos who have run this Italian specialty market have made it their mission to bring customers the finest old-world selections from Italy—handcrafted mozzarella, buttery prosciutto, estate olive oils, traditional artisanal pastas from throughout the country. Now, in one colorful volume, Lou Di Palo, great-grandson of the founder and steward of the family legacy, shares the vibrant history of this storied establishment and a lifetime of wisdom about the cuisine beloved around the world. Di Palo’s Guide to the Essential Foods of Italy takes you on a gourmet excursion through Italy’s twenty distinct regions, from Sicily to Umbria to Alto Adige. Each chapter highlights a specific food and its rich history, along with practical tips for selecting, storing, and serving it at home. Many include signature family recipes that have been handed down through the generations, including Grandma Mary’s Sicilian Caponata and Concetta Di Palo’s Meatballs, or recipes gathered from trips to Italy over the years, such as Trapani-Style Salted Sea Bass and Polenta con Formaggio Crucolo Fuso. Readers will discover, among many other things, the secret to a balsamic vinegar worthy of sharing only with one’s closest friends, the proper way to prepare the perfect espresso, and the importance of looking for the Denominazione d’Origine Protetta—or the Protected Designation of Origin seal—which certifies that your food is a traditional, regional product. Complete with dozens of mouthwatering photographs, engaging anecdotes, and candid stories, and featuring a foreword by Academy Award–winning director Martin Scorsese, this immersive volume is part family narrative, part culinary odyssey, and part cookbook. Di Palo’s Guide to the Essential Foods of Italy is your ticket to the best Italian foods—without having to wait in line! Praise for Di Palo’s Guide to the Essential Foods of Italy “Of all the stores in all the world, Di Palo’s is probably my favorite.”—Ruth Reichl “Lou Di Palo is single-handedly preserving the history of Little Italy in New York City. Shopping at Di Palo’s is an authentic, personal experience. When you walk into the shop, you feel like you’re in the center of the universe. I’ve been waiting for Lou to write this book for years. He’s a good friend and an American treasure.”—Tyler Florence “Di Palo’s has been one of the Seven Wonders of New York since 1925. This book is a beautiful story of their commitment to keeping Italian traditions, and shows the passion they’ve had for the artisanal best for almost one hundred years.”—Chef Daniel Boulud “Lou Di Palo’s depth and breadth of knowledge of Italian foods extends from the Alpine hills to the Sicilian coastline and he manages to bring it all home to us in this wonderful book.”—Chef Michael Lomonaco “I love this book because it explains to an American how to elevate and enjoy great Italian ingredients. The pride that comes from Lou and his family translates to the store and, now, to the pages of this book. I found myself hungry after reading it. You will too.”—Chef Alex Guarnaschelli
