Before award-winning chef Jeff Michaud ever opened the doors
of his acclaimed Philadelphia restaurants, he spent three
years in northern Italy as a culinary apprentice to master
butchers and chefs, immersing himself in the culture and
cuisine of the old country. It is safe to say that he never
anticipated the romance that would ensue. Eating Italy is a
delicious, funny, and mesmerizing spin through the boot,
teaching true heirloom techniques and telling Jeff ’s
culinary and personal love story (he met his wife when she
came into the restaurant one night for dinner, and to this
day, he hasn’t forgotten what she ordered). Part inventive cookbook, part travel narrative, each chapter
of Eating Italy explores a village or town in northern
Italy, unveiling the unique culinary and cultural experience
it has to offer. The reader experiences his journey from
“Paladina: The Butcher’s Apprentice” to “Trescore Balneario:
Our Big Italian Wedding” in dishes like Apricot and
Chanterelle Salad, Swordfish Pancetta with Fennel Zeppole,
Pheasant Lasagne, and Blood Orange Crostata with Bitter
Chocolate. Each authentic recipe serves to mark his
professional growth, learning from some of the most skilled
chefs in Italy. Vivid photography of Italian culture,
people, and landscapes are dispersed throughout, allowing
the reader a glimpse of northern Italia from a kitchen far away.
