{"product_id":"9781743792117","title":"Acquacotta: Recipes and Stories from Tuscany's Secret Silver Coast","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcquacotta\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of the traditional cuisine of a lesser known part of Tuscany, the Silver Coast, which forms part of the territory of Maremma. Acquacotta, literally meaning \"cooked water\", is Maremma's most famous dish, a soup made of slowly simmered tomatoes and onions and poached eggs. There are countless variations, and every town has its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes personal stories, memories and lessons from the people (producers, winemakers, breeders, fisherman) Emiko has met. The Silver Coast is a geographically quite narrow area in the southernmost coastal part of the region – and includes the island-like promontory of Monte Argentario, the island of Giglio, the lagoon town of Orbetello and the last Tuscan town on the border of Lazio, Capalbio. Surrounded by thick, wild boar-inhabiting, forest-covered hills and twisted, ancient olive trees, the area is known for its rustic peasant cooking, where hearty soups, hand-reared chickens or rabbits, foraged wild vegetables, mushrooms and chestnuts and wild-caught game have long provided sustenance - and still colour the local cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcquacotta\u003c\/i\u003e will champion the food Emiko loves to eat and cook - comforting, low-maintenance and easy to prepare. It's food that calls for sharing with friends or family, gathered around a big table. And like most peasant cuisine, it is about getting the best out of a few ingredients and providing a belly-filling meal that not only doesn't cost the earth, but is delicious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcquacotta\u003c\/i\u003e offers more than 80 recipes across five chapters divided by themes:\u003cbr\u003eDal Bosco - which means feed from the woods and includes foraged and hunted foods; Dal Mare - which means from the sea and includes typical seafood of the area including from the lagoon; Dal Orto - which means from the vegetable patch; Dal Fattoria - which means from the farm and include dishes inspired by the farm tradition in the area, which often includes legumes, grains, rabbit, poultry and eggs; Dolci - sweets, preserves and homemade liquors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardie Grant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039041077488,"sku":"9781743792117","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781743792117_p0.jpg?v=1763707081","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781743792117","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
