Publisher's Synopsis
Balsamicois not just a recipe book, but also the story of Gloria Midolini's love for an ingredient that has been a part of the history of Italian cuisine for many centuries. Original combinations enhance the very essence of the balsamic vinegar and are used in simple recipes that anyone can recreate. The author's love for balsamic vinegar has been handed down from her family-who, fifty years ago, began an adventure that has resulted in the largest vinegar cellar in the world, in the heart of the fascinating lands of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Balsamico grew from the need for the use of this "magical" ingredient to be made a part of everyday dishes and enjoy sharing this noble and traditional ingredient, dating back to Roman times, with anyone who loves cooking.
