“I’m not a chef; I’m Italian!”
After three seasons of the popular television series David Rocco’s Dolce Vita,
its eponymous host David Rocco has become one of Canada’s most popular celebrity
cooks. His show is aired on Food Network Canada, in Italian on TLN and in French
in Quebec via TVA . He was chosen as one of Flare magazine’s 20 most stylish
Canadians. David’s popularity goes well beyond Canada. His show airs in 100
countries around the world. As a proud Italian-Canadian, David says his love for
food, cooking, and preparing meals for friends and family is part of his DNA .
Eagerly anticipated, this book is full of everything that
makes the TV show such a favourite: beautiful food photography and locales, and,
of course, David’s sense of la dolce vita, the sweet life. His cookbook is all
about taking a relaxed, enjoyable approach to the everyday, and the foundation
of this lifestyle is simple, elegant food. David’s easygoing style embraces
straightforward ingredients and techniques to create wonderful dishes anyone can
enjoy without stress. He emphasizes the philosophy of quanto basta, or “just
enough,” and encourages readers to suit their own tastes.
Try some of David’s wonderful sfizzi, simple but
sophisticated snacks: Fiori de zucca (zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella
and anchovies) or Frico (parmigiano chips). Delight in Spaghetti con pomodorini
e pecorino (spaghetti with cherry tomato sauce and pecorino cheese), delicious
Beef carpaccio (easier than you think!), or melt-in-your-mouth Gnudi (“naked”
ravioli). For something truly sweet, why not try his simple spin on the classic
Italian dessert, Tiramisù al limone? From antipasti to mains to desserts to
brilliant and delicious uses for leftovers, David Rocco shows you how to bring
la dolce vita into your life.
