Highway Of The Sea
Gourmet Traveller|August 2018

Paola Bacchia’s new cookbook, Adriatico, takes inspiration from the cuisine of Italy’s Adriatic coast.

Highway Of The Sea

For Paola Bacchia, the Adriatic Coast is more than a simple entry in an atlas. It’s the groves of ancient olive trees on the Salento peninsula, the spindly wooden fishing machines along the shoreline between Ortona and Vasto, and the horses on the coast of the Gargano taught to trample on sun-hardened broad beans to release their edible seeds. The author’s love of the region was inspired by her father, Nello. “He grew up on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, on the Istrian peninsula, which was part of Italy at the time,” says Bacchia. “It is the sound of my father’s words and the taste of my mother’s cooking that drove me to write Adriatico.”

HEART AND SOUL

Not a vegetable but rather a flower bud that rises on a thistle, the artichoke is a complex delight. Its rewards are hard won; first you must get past the armour of petals and remove the hairy choke. Those who step up are rewarded with sweet and savoury creaminess and the elusive flavour of spring. Many of the recipes here begin with the same Provençal braise. Others call on the nuttiness of artichokes in their raw form. The results make pasta lighter and chicken brighter or can be fried to become a vessel for bold flavours all of which capture the levity of the season.
