This Italian Cookbook From Gourmet Traveller Is A Winner

Italian: Big Flavours, Classic Dishes, published by Gourmet Traveller, pasta with vodka sauce recipe.

It’s rare to come across a cookbook where I want to cook every recipe in it – and I mean every recipe. Typically, I enjoy dipping in and out of cookbooks, gaining inspiration and ideas, but attempting only the recipes that truly jump out at me. Italian , a collection of Gourmet Traveller’s best Italian recipes, will keep me occupied for some time because there’s barely a recipe in it that I don’t want to try.

This big-format, hardcover book has more than 100 recipes from leading chefs and the Gourmet Traveller food team, including Guy Grossi, Stefano Manfredi, Neil Perry, Brigitte Hafner, Andreas Papadakis, and Sarah Cicolini. You’ll find recipes for crudo, fried zucchini flowers, risotto and pasta every which way, meatballs with polenta, crisp veal cotoletta, and of course, tiramisù, cannoli and semifreddo to finish.

Many of the recipes have been tweaked and perfected in Australia, adding a local flavour to the book while respecting the flavours and ingredients of regional and traditional Italian dishes. Cauliflower and Hazelnut Strozzapreti with Gorgonzola will definitely be going onto the menu at home soon, while the recipe here for Conchiglie with Vodka Sauce is perfect for a dinner party as it is incredibly easy to prepare and very impressive.

“This is one of those dishes that seems to always be good no matter the circumstances,” says chef Casey Wall of Capitano, Melbourne.  

The recipes are accompanied by full-page food and travel photography, making it not just an indispensable cooking companion but a book for armchair travellers who want to explore Italy from the comfort of their lounge room.

CONCHIGLIE WITH VODKA SAUCE

Serves 4 to 6

400 gm dried conchiglie or similarly shaped pasta 750 ml (3 cups) tomato sugo 250 ml (1 cup) pouring cream 80 ml vodka

Onion-garlic butter: 100 gm butter, chopped 250 gm onion (about 3 small), thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

For onion-garlic butter, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion, garlic and 2 tsp salt, cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft (25 to 30 minutes). Transfer to a blender and purée (be careful, hot butter will spit).

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente (10 to 12 minutes). Drain, reserving pasta water. Meanwhile, combine tomato sauce, onion-garlic butter, cream and vodka in a saucepan over high heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by a quarter and sauce is emulsified (8 to 10 minutes).

Fold pasta into sauce, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to help thin out the sauce (it should coat the pasta evenly). Serve immediately.

64 perfect prawn recipes

I s there anything prawns can't do? We like them tossed through pasta in a spicy tomato sauce or done wafu pasta-style with sake-soy butter; but we're equally pleased by prawns that have been kissed by the smoke and char of a barbecue, prawn ceviche with a green-chilli dressing, or a comforting prawn curry. This versatile crustacean is available year-round, so don't leave all your prawn eating to summer.

Prawns are easy and quick to cook, making them primed for simple dinners as well as impressive dinner party snacks. Whether you're a lover of prawn pasta recipes, barbecued prawns with a lovely marinade or sauce, or a fresh prawn salad, nothing pleases like a prawn.

In our collection of perfect prawn recipes, we have delicious pasta recipes, barbecued delights like Mat Lindsay's prawns with brown butter and tamari and light and quick seafood meals such as a soba noodle salad with sake grilled prawns that takes just 15 minutes to make. We also have brilliant starters, from our chicken, prawn and chilli pot stickers recipe or super-easy charred prawns on skewers with lime that takes less than 10 minutes to cook. For easy midweek dinners, try Liberté's stir fry garlic prawns with chilli and Thai basil or our linguine with tomato, prawns and rocket.

Here are our best prawn recipes, perfect for all occasions.
