Presentation:
Bordered by Austria, Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea, the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located in the northeast of Italy, is a place of cultural mixing, geographical diversity and idyllic beauty. This little piece of land is home to one of the world's finest food and wine cultures, yet still tucked away. Friuli's unique cuisine inspires the menu at Frasca, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant in Boulder, Colorado, run by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and Chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson.
Meaning "branch" or "twig", the word "frasca" refers to the Friulian tradition of hanging a branch outside the family farm to signal that new wine is available for sale. Friuli Food and Wine celebrates this practice as well as the wine and cuisine of the Friuli region through eighty recipes and wine pairings. Dishes such as Wild Mushroom and Montasio Fonduta, Chicken Marcundela with Cherry Mostarda and Mashed Potatoes, Squash Gnocchi with Smoked Ricotta Sauce and Whole Salt-Crusted Branzino are curated by Terre, Sea and Mountains, while the profiles of local winemakers and wines, including Tocai, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Verduzzo, open up new possibilities for association.
Featuring the best Friulian wines you can buy outside of Italy, along with restaurant and winery recommendations, this beautifully photographed cookbook, wine guide and travelogue lets you discover the delicious secrets of this untouched region. from Italy.
