Antipasti are among the most flexible and attractive offerings from the Italian table. Usually light and healthy, often easy to prepare, and always full of flavour, these small Italian dishes are perfect for the way we eat today.
Incorporating every food and flavour from raw vegetables and preserved meats to pates and focaccia, to healthy vegetarian and seafood preparations, the variety of antipasti is truly extraordinary. Lorenza de'Medici, one of the world's great Italian cooks and food writers, presents recipes ranging from simple, such as Pinzimonio (vegetables dipped in olive oil) to more elaborate creations such as Truffles with Pancetta.
Illustrated with Gus Filgate's prize-winning photography, 'Lorenza's Antipasti' creates a sumptuous celebration of Italian cuisine.
