Autentico offers an immersive journey into the genuine flavors of Italy, from the vibrant essence of fresh olive oil to the comforting depths of slow-cooked ragú. Rolando Beramendi, an importer and connoisseur of Italy's finest ingredients, presents a definitive guide to authentic Italian cuisine.
Transcending the typical Italian cookbook, Autentico ventures beyond the familiar realm of pasta. In an era marked by culinary shortcuts, adulteration, and the mass production of purportedly "authentic" food, Rolando Beramendi, a culinary archaeologist, innovator, and educator, champions the preservation of centuries-old culinary traditions—the very essence of authenticity.
Within Autentico's pages, Rolando meticulously details the preparation of classic dishes, such as Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, Risotto in Bianco, and Gran Bollito Misto, as they were originally intended, untainted by global adaptations. Among the 120 recipes, you'll discover culinary treasures like Baked Zucchini Blossoms filled with sheep's milk ricotta, Roast Pork Belly with Wild Fennel, Savoy Cabbage Rolls with farro and melted fontina, Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe, Risotto with Radicchio, and a Lamb Stew infused with ancient Spice Route flavors, reminiscent of Renaissance-era feasts. And of course, there are dolci: Summer Fruit Caponata, Meringata with Bitter Chocolate Sauce, and a simple, yet sumptuous Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cake. Infused with the richness of Italy's finest ingredients, Autentico transforms the modern kitchen into a portal to Italy's culinary history.
