Italy by Ingredient, Recipe Kit Box & Class Giveaway

Enter our US giveaway below to win an Italy by Ingredient prize package which includes a copy of Italy by Ingredient, a kit from Casa de Case that features one of the recipes from this title and a 1-hour private online class with Viola (date and time to be mutually agreed upon).

Italy by Ingredient: Artisanal Foods, Modern Recipes by Viola Buitoni presents the history and geography of Italy’s most iconic ingredients, showing modern home chefs how to incorporate robust flavors and techniques into their kitchens. With recipes organized according to a single ingredient, each chapter bursts with taste: learn how to make a traditional ragù sauce with conserved tomatoes; layer a plate of prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella; or bake a polenta custard tart. Practical guidelines for seasonal eating, easy substitutes for hard-to-find items, and valuable shopping tips complement the approachable recipes.

This title is stunning and filled with spectacular photography of the vibrant recipes. These are the type of Italian dishes that I enjoy: fine ingredients, simple techniques and bursting with flavor.

There are two online recipes to try now, pictured below:

Casa de Case is a San Francisco business specializing in distinctive Italian ingredients. At the heart of Italian cuisine is a respect for fine ingredients that are prepared without much manipulation. More than anything, it is the beautiful ingredients that define the dish. This same value is at the heart of all Mediterranean cuisine, and, in fact, defines California cuisine. Casa de Case has focused in finding the best Italy has to offer, from different olive oils to balsamic vinegar, tomatoes, capers, salt, beans, herbs, chilies and all the beautiful things used in Italian food. Their goal is to bring the very best from Italy to restaurants, specialty stores and direct customers.

Their products include Panettone & Pandoro, Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar,
Flour, Italian Tomatoes, Pasta, Beans, Grains and Rice, Italian Cheese and much more. Casa de Case has several kits geared to creating delicious Italian recipes from Italy by Ingredient.

Viola Buitoni is a chef instructor and food writer. She was born in Rome and raised in Perugia, Italy. With stories and knowledge from six generations, her dishes cross the best of California agriculture with the finest Italian food imports. Viola teaches Italian cooking remotely at Milk Street, and in person at 18Reasons + The Civic Kitchen in San Francisco. She leads immersive food tours in off-the-beaten-path Italy. Viola has offered one winner a 1-hour private online class with Viola (date and time to be mutually agreed upon).
