Download The Risotto Guru: Adventures in Eating Italian AudioBook Free
A Sardinian wedding feast, the search for the perfect seaside pasta with outrageous fennel, meeting a risotto master: Laura Fraser journeys from the SpaghettiOs of her American childhood to savor the best of Italian delicacies and the culture that grilled it up. Making use of the same dreamy, scrumptious type of prose that made An Italian Affair a best-selling memoir, these essays will please listeners who loved that book and all who love Italian food and culture. Sumptuous information of Italian meals - and the passion that goes into them - make this e book a mouthwatering, uplifting pleasure. In "Italy in 17 Courses", Fraser uses the tempo and order of the laundry in a marriage feast to muse on her own advantages to Italian food and exactly how it evolved her from a diet-obsessed vegetarian to a pasta and pancetta connoisseur. "An Affair to Remember" explores themes of food and nostalgia and how a good meal can lift the soul. In "The Risotto Guru", Fraser creates a funny spoof of new age gurus as she queries to perfect her own risotto. Caution: Do not listen on an empty abdomen. Laura Fraser is a San Francisco-based journalist and writing mentor whose latest travel memoir, All Above the Map, is a sequel to her 2001 New York Times best owner, An Italian Affair.
