OP: Cucina Del Mare
This was one of founder Nach Waxman’s all-time favorites, and we’re very happy to have a spare copy.
Evan Kleiman, long-time L.A. restaurateur, was co-author with Viana La Place of the brilliant Cucina Fresca trio. This stand-alone work (1993) on Italian fish and seafood cooking is a triumph of home-style simplicity and high flavor. Try Kleiman’s Ligurian oil-filled clams; pesto pizza with shrimp; devil’s penne with fried calamari; risotto with mussels and porcini; or halibut topped with rich garlic mashed potatoes. To die for.
This is an unused first printing, 8” x 10” hardcover copy in Fine condition, inside and out. The jacket is price clipped, otherwise Fine.
