Ingredienti

Description

Ingredienti - Recipes from "Le Calandre" "In.gredienti has been produced with the help of professionals who are also friends, therefore all choices, from paper size, images, and texts were made at Le Calandre, thought out and worked through between the Cavalier Room, the office and the kitchen of our small world on via Liguria. This could be a limit, but we like to think of it as "our" limit. The title is In.gredienti because the word's root contains - secret - the sense of our cooking: to go forward, toward nucleus by listening to and frequenting the raw materials. In this central sense the re-reading, with illustrate the vision of the dish, is necessary to articulate an introspective measured approach, stretched to penetrate the sense of things. It's not about architectural representations but an attempt at confrontation between food and its nutriment. This conceptual research is supported by small stories that introduce each dish. Recipes are divided into eleven chapters, corresponding with areas of research conducted over the last few years. In the first part, the dialogue, we want to transmit, through the paths of our professional lives, the joys, lessons, vicissitudes that have, up until now, distinguished a road dense with satisfaction, but also with doubt and sacrifice. The entire book is therefore articulated in our own simple voices. In.gredienti is inhabited by a profusion of images and words that are only essential points: a hesitant and confused advance in a jungle of flavors from which the mysterious and intoxicating aromas slowly clear the road for a timeless stroll: in fact the fundamental components of a dish - scent and flavor - are openly negated. In this privation we can read something ironic, a game in a game that justifies, in part, this publication."
