A16 Food + Wine
|
Named after the Italian motorway, A16, that runs from Naples to Canosa in Puglia, their popular San Francisco restaurant specializes in the bold, rustic, irresistible flavors of Campania. Diners pack the house for chef Nate Appleman's house-cured salumi, textbook Naples-style pizzas, and gutsy slow-cooked meat dishes. Wine director Shelley Lindgren is committed to handcrafted southern Italian wines. |
A16 Food + Wine is not your typical cookbook. In fact, the recipes don't even start until page 64 because the first part of the book is devoted to the wines. Italian wines are much more than Chianti! Indeed, in Campagna two-thirds of the native grapes are white, not red. The authors teach about the characteristics of such white varietals as Bombino Bianco to Falanchina to Pecorino (yes, it's not just a sheep's milk cheese, but a citrusy, flinty, crisp wine, as well). Reds are not forgotten. You'll learn what pairs best with such reds as Aglianico and Magliocco. Appleman and Lindgren share the source of their inspiration. From chile-spiked seafood stews and savory roasts to delicate antipasti and vegetable sides, the recipes are beguilingly rustic and approachable. Lindgren's vivid profiles of the key grapes and producers of southern Italy provide vital context for appreciating and pairing the wines. Stunning photography captures the wood-fired ambiance of the restaurant and the Campania countryside it celebrates. Here is a small sampling of the recipes.
