Synopses & Reviews
Antonio Carluccio Goes Wild is the natural successor to his best-selling Passion for Mushrooms. Here, Antonio revels in the natural bounty of the woods, fields, and seashore—from crab apples and strawberries, truffles and mushrooms, to crayfish and pheasant. Some 60 wild ingredients are featured, with aids to identification, guidance on where and how to gather them, and tips on preparation. Each one is accompanied by a recipe or two—often very simple, in the Italian tradition, and all satisfyingly delicious. Among the dishes are asta with Wild Garlic and Smoked Salmon, Ravioli of Chanterelles and Duck, Umbrian Trout with Truffles, Pheasant with Berry and Pomegranate Sauce, and Wild Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar.
