Review of "The cooking of Italy"

I recently looked over this book called The cooking of Italy. This book contains many different recipes, and  is split into sections such as, Soups and Salads, Pasta Pizza and Polenta, Meats and Vegateables Desserts. Not only does this book contain recipes, but it also includes safety tips. At the beginning of the book, there is a section called "A word about safety" it consists of 11 safety. The book states "Safety and common sense are the two most important ingredients in any recipe. Before you begin to make the recipes in this book, take a few minutes to master some simple kitchen safety rules. An example would be do not use a knife while your hands are wet because it may cause the knife to slip. This book makes things very easy for the reader, because it breaks down how to do everything step by step. It teaches you cooking terms such as Battuto. A Battuto is a chopped mixture of onion, garlic mixture in different combinations in the recipes for soups, pasta sauces, vegetable dishes, and main dishes too. Chop, which means to use a sharp knife to cut food into pieces. Saute, which means to lightly fry ingredients in a small amount of fat, butter, or oil, while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Simmer, which means to cook just below the boiling point. And last but not least, Skim, which means to remove fats or cooking residues as ingredients go from raw to cooked. It gives you ingredients you can use to replace other ingredients, and gives you options. When it comes to reading recipes, the author advises reading the entire thing before attempting to begin making your meal. Also, getting things prepped is a very important part of cooking. It is a good idea to have all the ingredients, and all of the materials needed to make your meal out, or close by, this is all a part of being organized so that everything can go smoothly and as planned.

Informational

     We all know him as Chef Ramsy from Hell’s Kitchen, but why don’t we take a closer look at the things that not everyone knows. His name is Gordon James Ramsay, Jr. Gordon was born on November 8^th, 1966 in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Gordon has 2 sisters and 1 brother. A younger sister named Yvonne, an older sister named Diane, and a younger brother named Ronald. He also has a wife named Cayetana Elizabeth Hutcheson, with whom he has 4 children 2 of which are twins. A daughter named Matilda, another daughter named Megan, and the twins Jack and Holly.

     Gordon was born in Scotland but was brought up in England after his family moved to Stratford-upon-Avon. He played football as teenager for Oxford United F.C.'s youth side and was spotted by a scout for Rangers. He completed trials for the Scottish club and became a professional player at the age of 15. After suffering a knee injury that left him unable to regain full fitness he was released from the club.

     At the age of 19 Ramsay now turned his hand to cookery. He worked under Marco Pierre White and Albert Roux in London and Guy Savoy and Joel Robuchon in Paris before becoming head chef of the newly-opened Aubergine restaurant in 1993. By 1996, the restaurant had been awarded two Michelin stars. In 1998 Ramsay opened his first own restaurant, the eponymous Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea. The restaurant gained three Michelin stars in 1999, making Ramsay the first Scot to achieve the feat. From there his empire has expanded rapidly, first opening Petrus where six bankers famously spent over £44,000 on wine during a single meal in 2001, and then Amaryllis and later Gordon Ramsay at Claridges. Restaurants at the Dubai Creek and Connaught Hotels followed, the later branded under his protegee, Angela Hartnett's, name. Ramsay's company, Gordon Ramsay Holdings, continued rapid expansion under Marcus Wareing as Chief Patron.

Welcome to food for thought.

Welcome to food for thought, this blog is about the many different foods from all around the world, and the culture behind them. It not only will include recipes and famous meals from famous places, but also the history behind it. If I had the opportunity to travel somewhere and experience the culture and try the food, I think I would pick Rome, Italy. Italian food is one that has always been a favorite of mine, so I think it would be a very rare and interesting opportunity to be able to travel to where it all began. I would not only enjoy trying the many different types of foods that they had to offer, but It would be and extraordinary experience to learn about the culture behind the foods I was consuming.
