Fresh off winning 1st place in the Italian category and 2nd place in the rice category at the 2019 Gourmand International Cookbook Awards, this book is a definitive guide to the Italian rice-cookery repertoire.

From acclaimed Chicago chef and restaurateur John Coletta comes a recipe collection focusing on a relatively unexplored area of Italian cuisine—rice cookery. Rice is a staple of northern Italy, where all Italian rice is produced. A rich and varied rice-based cookery has developed in this region. These 100 authentic dishes bring the full range of Italian rice cooking into the home kitchen, from familiar dishes—arancini, crochettes, risotti, and rice puddings—to more unusual offerings such as rice salads, soups, fritters, bracioli, and gelatos.

Coletta shares his expertise about Italian rice types and cooking methods, and provides foolproof instructions for making perfect rice every time. He also includes background about the rice varieties and where they can be purchased. Among the recipes are Rice Crostini with Ricotta and Oregano; Rice Soup with Shrimp and Leeks; Rice Salad with Bresaola and Parmigiano Reggiano; Risotta alla Carbonara; Artichokes Stuffed with Lemon and Thyme Risotto; Braised Turkey Rolls with Chestnut Risotto, Pancetta, and Sage; and Rice Crepes with Nutella.

This volume will appeal to lovers of Italian food who are looking for a cookbook that includes many of their favorite Italian ingredients all with rice as the new star.

This book has taught me a lot of good techniques and tools to better my process of making it. The recipes are great, as well as the pictures and layout of this book. I enjoy it a lot!

Title: Nothing creative about the recipes
Review: Unless you're a huge fan of risotto, this book is not worth the money. In fact even if you do like risotto, the recipes are redundant. Page after page it adds new additions to current preparations.Didn't care for this.

Review: I live in Italy, and both speak and read Italian, but when I saw this book I was very impressed by the inviting layout and the breadth of recipes that would be very much at home in my adopted country. My only quibble: I have to agree when the author rightly notes that measuring ingredients by weight is more precise, and thus it would have been nice to have measurements by weight as well as by volume. Small matter.Anyone curious about the place rice has in Italian cuisine all over the country will find this a valuable volume. Buon appetito!
