The Opera Lover's Cookbook: Menus for Elegant Entertaining

Great music and great food make an exhilarating duet. Taking her cues from the worldâ€™s most beloved operas, food diva Francine Segan has composed a cycle of menus that are sure to have your family and friends shouting, â€œBrava! Bravissima!â€

Each chapter of Opera Loverâ€™s Cookbook presents a culinary performanceâ€”an elegant five-course dinner, a brunch, a dessert partyâ€” scored to a particular operatic motif or keyed to the work of a renowned composer. Operas set in Spainâ€”Carmen, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Don Giovanniâ€”are the exotic backdrop for a tapas fiesta. The far-flung locales of Pucciniâ€™s La BohÃ¨me, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, and Turandot inspire an eclectic international buffet. A rustic Italian dinner is orchestrated to the strains of Verdiâ€™s Traviata. And Gilbert and Sullivan, of course, provide the overture for an English-style pub supper.

Sumptuously illustrated with photographs of featured dishes and lavish productions mounted by New Yorkâ€™s Metropolitan Opera Company, Opera Loverâ€™s Cookbook also dispenses advice on home entertaining and on setting the scene with stunning table decor. Its more than 125 recipes include appetizers and hors dâ€™oeuvres; soup, salad, fish, and pasta courses; main dishes; sweets; and thematic aperitif, cocktail, and after-dinner drinks.
