Malvina Bertonati

MALVINA BERTONATI is a chef and owner of a traditional Italian restaurant "Da Malvina" in one of the most popular seaside tourist destinations: Bonassola, right next to the famous Cinque Terre in Liguria, Italy. She has been cooking with passion for the last 40 years and she received a national award for her tasty, healthy and traditional cuisine. She was knighted for her services to the industry. ALINKA RUTKOWSKA just happened to pass by and fall in love with Malivna's cuisine. She was always very curious about what was going on in the restaurant kitchen but what she heard from Malvina most often was "fuori dalla mia cucina ", meaning "get out of my kitchen ". She obeyed until once she decided that even a complete cooking analphabetic like herself could at least try to replicate the masterpieces being created in Malvina's kitchen. With a pen, paper, camera and Malvina's blessing she compiled the amazing recipes and over 300 photographs into this book.

FUORI DALLA MIA CUCINA - un compendio delle migliori ricette della cucina ligure: tradizionale, buona e sana. Centinaia di foto fanno vedere come fare anche i piatti piu' elaborati passo dopo passo. Questo libro e' il risultato di un incontro di una digiuna della cucina e un'esperta. Non ci sono solo le foto di come cuocere la pasta - l'unica cosa che la scrittrice sapeva gia' fare MALVINA BERTONATI e' lo Chef da 40 anni di un tipico ristorante italiano "Da Malvina" a Bonassola in Liguria vicino alle Cinque Terre - la piu' vecchia ristoratrice del paese. ALINKA RUTKOWSKA e' una scrittrice e imprenditrice che nel suo viaggio intorno al mondo e' capitata a Bonassola e si e' innamorata della cucina di Malvina.
