Alfonso Iaccarino – The Book

In this book Alfonso Iaccarino shares with readers his experience and boundless enthusiasm for the products that characterize Mediterranean cuisine. It presents 90 recipes that follow the seasons, some of which the restaurant is famous for (Linguine with veracious clams and zucchini; Gnocchetti with mussels and broccoli; Casserole of rockfish, etc.) as well as variations on a familiar theme that are sure to surprise and delight (Broken candles with bacon, bay leaf, peas and aged caciotta; Semolina and anchovy stars on mozzarella fondue; Cream and coffee zabaglione impressionism, etc.). Michele Tabozzi’s photographs communicate the hospitality of Don Alfonso 1890, following its protagonists from the vegetable garden to the kitchen, from the fish market to the dining room. Full-page photos accompany more than 40 recipes, bringing to life on paper Alfonso’s meticulous attention to color and form worthy of a painter.
