A manual that teaches you in 120 recipes how to eat with gusto and without wasting anything. A practical handbook on crafty grocery shopping and preserving and cooking food accompanied by monthly recipes, including 12 original recipes from famous Italian chefs. Each month opens with an account by Professor Andrea Sinigaglia, of the International School of Italian Cuisine, and with the seasonal products that will be used to prepare starters, first and second courses, single dishes, side dishes, desserts and preserves aiming at tastiness, health and, above all, not wasting. Then, there is an appendix with the kitchen tools and appliances that help you and a glossary of terms used in the book. Finally, two indexes, one by dish and one by product type.
