(January 2001)
Reviewer: "pbaert@rug.be"
Since
I live here down South I have been amazed that I found
so few recipes from the real genuinine cuisine. So
this book fills a real gap in Italian food culture.A
must have for Italian food lovers.As these recipes
are the real thing.The food you eat here every day.Simple
well balanced honest dishes.Try it and you will be
amazed!! Buon appetito
An
over-looked Italian cuisine that is a treasure!
(December 2004)
Reviewer: Tim Johnson (Fremantle, Australia)
I
have been watching the matching BBC video of this
wonderful book and finally decided to purchase the
original cookbook to accompany the series. I am pleased
that I did so because Carluccio's book contains more
recipes than the accompaning video and the anecdotes
that he uses to introduce a particular recipe add
an enriching extra fullness to the food.
For
instance, his desciption of the contents of a Sicilian
shepherd's lunch and his explanation of why Sardinian
cuisine is based on meat rather than fish even though
Sardinia is an island [centuries of seaborne attack
forced the people into the interior of the island
for protection] make "Southern Italian Feast"
a book to be read rather than simply referred to as
a normal cookbook.
The
extent of the recipe collection is well matched to
the Mediterannean climate here in southwestern Australia
therefore the food fits perfectly into our larder
and the resulting lifestyle is matched to that of
southern Italy-except for the Anglo overlay. Any cook
in any area of the world that lives in a Mediterannean
climate would do well to seek out this superb book
for it's recpes and Calucicio's writing.
Utterly
Delicious! (April 2001)
Reviewer: Deb Mele (Toronto, Ontario Canada)
This
book contains everything that is good about southern
Italian food, including recipes that contain vibrant,
flavorful ingredients, which are indeed a feast for
your senses. A chapter is set aside to explain what
ingredients are in fact important to southern Italian
cuisine, and the rest of the book is full of traditional
recipes, which would appeal to novice or experienced
cooks alike. Delicious color photographs of many of
the dishes are sprinkled throughout the book. If you
are interested in southern Italian cooking, than I
think you'll enjoy this book.
My
New Favorite Italian Recipe Book (June 2000)
Reviewer: Sheila Washburn (San Diego, California)
Southern
Italian Feast has captured the essence of Southern
Italian cooking with enthusiasm and personality. The
author, Antonio Carluccio, uses fresh ingredients
in recipes that, though simple to prepare, are incredibly
delicious. Before each recipe, he chats with us about
the recipe, the region and gives other interesting
information with a relaxed charm that added to my
cooking experience. Mouth-watering photographs beautifully
illustrate and tempt even further. Southern Italian
Feast has quickly become my favorite Italian recipe
book. This is a book you will really use. The most
difficult thing is deciding which recipe to try next.
