Tortellini at Midnight
Davies Emiko
Hardie Grant Books
Hardcover: 256 pages
Language: English
Subject: Cooking, Eat & Drink Italy
ometime in the 1950s, Emiko Davies' nonno-in-law began the tradition of ringing in the new year with tortellini al sugo. He served it along with spumante and a round of tombola, and sparked a trend; up until the 1970s, you could find tortellini at midnight on New Year's Eve in the bars around the Tuscan town of Fucecchio.
This is just one of the over 75 heirloom dishes in this collection, for which Emiko Davies has gathered some of her favourite Italian family recipes. They trace generations that span the length of Italy, from the Mediterranean port city of Taranto in the southern heel of Puglia to elegant Turin, the city of aperitif and Italian cafe culture in the far north and, finally, back to Tuscany, which Emiko calls home.
