100 Corn Recipes

Corn, in Italy synonymous with polenta, is one of the most identity-defining ingredients of farmhouse cooking, especially in Northern Italy. Arriving from the Americas only four hundred years ago and spreading quickly from Val Camonica onward, it gave rise to countless regional variations: from Valtellina's polenta taragna to Piedmont's polenta concia, from Bergamo's polenta e osei to Bari's frascaddus. This ebook gathers 100 recipes to travel across Italy through this extraordinary grain.
