Arthur Schwartz, popular radio host, cookbook author, and veteran restaurant critic, invites you to join him as he celebrates the food and people of Naples and Campania. Encompassing the provinces of Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, and Salerno, the internationally famous resorts of the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Ischiaand, of course, Naples itself, Italys third largest and most exuberant cityCampania is the cradle of Italian-American cuisine.In Naples at Table, Arthur Schwartz takes a fresh look at the regions major culinary contributions to the worldits pizza, dried pasta, seafood, and vegetable dishes, its sustaining soups and voluptuous dessertsand offers the recipes for some of Campanias lesser-known specialties as well. Always, he provides all the techniques and details you need to make them with authenticity and ease.Naples at Table is the first cookbook in English to survey and document the cooking of this culturally important and gastronomically rich area. Schwartz spent years traveling to Naples and throughout the region, making friends, eating at their tables, working with home cooks and restaurant chefs, researching the origins of each recipe. Here, then, are recipes that reveal the truly subtle, elegant Neapolitan hand with such familiar dishes as baked ziti, eggplant parmigiana, linguine with clam sauce, and tomato sauces of all kinds.This is the Italian food the world knows best, at its bestbold and vibrant flavors made from few ingredients, using the simplest techniques. Think Sophia Lorenand check out her recipe for Chicken Caccistora! Discover the joys of preparing a timballo like the pasta-filled pastry in the popular film Big Night. Or simply rediscover how truly delicious, satisfying, and healthful Campanian favorites can befrom vegetable dished such as stuffed peppers and garlicky greens to pasta sauces you can make while the spaghetti boils or the Neapolitans famous long-simmered ragu, redolent with the flavors of meat and red wine. Then theres the succulent baked lamb Neapolitans love to serve to company, the lentils and pasta they make for family meals, baked pastas that go well beyond the red-sauce stereotype, their repertoire of deep-fried morsels, the pan of pork and pickled peppers so dear to Italian-American hearts, and the most delicate meatballs on earth. All are wonderfully old-fashioned and familiar, yet in hands of a Neapolitan, strikingly contemporary and ideal for todays busy cooks and nutrition-minded sybarites.Finally, what better way to feed a sweet tooth than with a Neapolitan dessert? Ice cream and other frozen fantasies were brought to their height in Baroque Naples. Baba, the rum-soaked cake, still reigns in every pastry shop. Campamnians invented ricotta cheesecake, and Arthur Schwartz predicts that the regions easily assembled refrigerator cakesdelizie or delightsare soon going to replace tiramisu on Americas tables. In any case, one bite of zuppa inglese, a Neapolitan take on English trifle, and youll be singing Thats Amore.A trip with Arthur Schwartz to Naples and its surrounding regions is the next best thing to being there. Join him as he presents the finest traditional and contemporary foods of the region, and shares myth, legend, history, recipes, and reminiscences with American fans, followers, and fellow lovers of all things Italian.
