Récits de saveurs familières
Erri De Luca nous invite à un voyage gustatif dans lequel chaque plat, chaque expérience culinaire ouvre une porte sur un souvenir. Des épisodes et des lieux, issus de son enfance ou de sa vie d’adulte, ressurgissent grâce à une mémoire sensorielle : les déjeuners du dimanche au parfum de ragù, les repas pris sur des chantiers ou en montagne, l’ambiance chaleureuse des osterie populaires où la jeunesse militante côtoyait la classe ouvrière.
En écho à chaque récit, Valerio Galasso, nutritionniste et ami, livre des conseils pratiques et des clés pour de saines habitudes alimentaires.
De sa plume limpide et poétique, Erri De Luca se dévoile tout en poursuivant l’exploration des thèmes qui lui sont chers. Dans ce livre intime, traversé par les traditions culinaires italiennes, la cuisine devient un langage de transmission et de partage, jusque dans les recettes familiales proposées en fin d’ouvrage.

Ce livre aurait pu être gourmand si son auteur n’était pas, en partie du moins, ascétique et si son ami nutritionniste ne venait pas gâcher le peu de plaisir qu’il reste.
À défaut d’achever cette lecture l’appétit en émoi, il donne envie de faire un régime !
