Big Mamma Cucina Popolare: Contemporary Italian Recipes

Product Information

For those that have experienced the energy in London's Gloria or Circolo Popolare - the book will be an extension of the fun and passion that you're familiar with and give you an opportunity to recreate some of their unique Mediterranean magic 'a casa'!

Yet you wouldn’t have been able to discover just how Mamma got quite so big and beautiful, until the publication of Big Mamma Cucina Popolare.Big Mamma includes 130 recipes inspired by its chefs who contributed dishes [with] silly names that reinforce the company motto to embrace food - and life - joyfully. Each of the 13 locations (nine of which are in Paris) has established itself as a success, assembling lines of people waiting to get in that wrap around the block for each meal service.

Part of Big Mamma’s success in Paris, London and Lille lies in the very personal way they source their ingredients. With a focus on simple techniques with clever twists, plus tips from the Big Mamma chefs, Big Mamma Cucina Popolare is a vibrant, exciting, and contemporary spin on traditional Italian dishes. The book chapters are divided in the traditional way – antipasti, insalate, pizze, primi patti, secondi patti and dolci.For example, at the top of each recipe the length of time involved is listed, broken down into preparation time, cooking time, and sometimes something like resting time, or chilling time. This first major UK exhibition to explore the exceptional talents of the Renaissance master Donatello, arguably the greatest sculptor of all time, presented a fresh vision of the artist and his influence on subsequent generations.
