The books reveal the tried and tested secrets passed down from generation to generation through families. These tips and techniques are the key to successful cooking. Anna Venturi encourages you to leave behind all concerns about step-by-step cookery. Follow her approach and relax; you'll be surprised how enjoyable and easy Italian cookery can be. Mouth-watering recipes such as Tagliolini con Pancetta e Zucchini (Courgettes and pancetta wih taglio(ini) and Scaloppine di pollo al limone con insalata verde (Chicken escalopes with lemon and mixed leaf salad), will suit every occasion, whether it is a simple family meal or a grand dinner party. Each recipe has its own secret and one of Anna's suggestions for creating a rustic soup is to serve it with her special roasted bread, which is rubbed with a peeled garlic clove when hot to lend a distinctive garlic flavour to the soup. With many years experience as a cookery teacher, Anna makes learning the basic techniques a pleasure, providing reassuring advice on choosing the ripest fruits and vegetables, getting the cooking temperature right, and selecting the right utensils for every job. Once these basic skills are learnt, the rest will come naturally., French description: Ce livre aborde le mythe de Narcisse a partir de ses sources antiques et propose d'etudier ses repercussions dans l'art du XXe siecle. La rencontre entre Narcisse et son reflet constitue un archetype culturel ponctuant la litterature et l'histoire de l'art occidentales, et se trouve a l'origine d'une strategie de representation confrontant la personne a sa propre image par le biais d'un medium. L'etude met ainsi a jour les situations d'illusion qui structurent ce recit fondateur dans chacune de ses variations et considere leur reformulation en termes visuels : dans l'oeuvre du Caravage et de Poussin notamment, puis a travers differents exemples tires de l'activite artistique du XXe siecle jusqu'a nos jours. A ce titre, la metamorphose de Narcisse en une notion - le narcissisme - et surtout sa reelaboration par le biais de l'image - le stade du miroir - sont mises en confrontation avec le mythe. Fort des differentes strates historique, exegetique et visuelle recouvrant l'histoire de Narcisse, ce livre propose une etude de cas choisis dans le travail de trois artistes, Francis Bacon, Bill Viola et Jeff Wall. Les trois corpus d'oeuvres selectionnes exemplifient chacun l'exploitation d'un medium artistique different : la peinture, la video et la photographie. Ils proposent un effet de reverberation du mythe et/ou de ses instanciations visuelles, et plus encore interagissent entre eux, communiquant parfois meme par la grace d'une reference explicite d'un artiste a un autre, de telle sorte que cet ouvrage s'erige en un circuit thematique coherent., "The success of a recipe does not depend on a religious devotion to instructions; it springs from the heart and requires enthusiasm and a genuine love of food". Anna Venturi has both in abundance. In Secrets from an Italian Kitchen she shares her treasured tips that make Italian cooking so special.
