100 Onion Recipes

Onion is the quintessential humble ingredient of Italian cooking, able to shift from a simple base for sauteed dishes to the true star of historic recipes. From Florence's carabaccia, a Renaissance soup already mentioned in 16th-century cookbooks, to the Tuscan farmhouse cipollata, through iconic varieties like Tropea onion, Emilia's Borettana and Lombardy's Breme onion, Italy tells its story through this vegetable too. This ebook gathers 100 recipes to discover it in every form.
