Italy, Recipes, Flavors, & Traditions: Kids in the Kitchen Volume 1 - Paperback

by P. J. Tierney (Author)

The main meal in Italy is lunch, called pranzo. It usually lasts two hours, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., and often consists of multiple courses: a primo (pasta, soup, or a risotto dish), a secondo, an entrée with a contorno (side dish), and a tasty sweet. There are recipes for every occasion: breakfast, small plates, sides & snacks, entrées, and desserts. Some of the delicious recipes include Lemon Ricotta Muffins, Antipasto Skewers, Italian Wedding Soup, Caprese Pizza, Homemade Pasta, Cherry Gelato, and Tiramisu. Learn about the history and traditions of Italy, including Carnavale and the celebrated Italian artist Michelangelo. Kids in the Kitchen cooking tips are included to ensure that safety and fun are part of your culinary journey. The cookbook also provides measurement conversions and 35 step-by-step delicious recipes with full-color photography that illustrates how each completed recipe should look. This book is part of the Culinary Passport Series; when you complete a flagged recipe, place the corresponding sticker in your culinary passport or mark the recipe to track your success and journey around the world through food.
