Fours seasons in Piemonte. From down right: Spring - Boiled Egg with fondue and sparrow-grass # Summer: Flan of basil with tomato cream and mozzarella cheese # Fall: Small fillet of deer with polenta at chestnut # Winter: ...Bagna Caoda... That is pronounced: Bagna Cauda and it's a typical Piemontese Winter dish. It's prepared with anchovies, garlic and oil; slowly boiled for hours is served boiling with winter vegetables. It tastes unique especially this one cooked, another time by Ugo Fontanone of "La Taverna di Fra Fiusch" -- Another good reason to visit Torino ;-)
Quattro stagioni in Piemonte. Iniziando in basso a destra: Primavera - Uovo alla coque con fonduta agli asparagi # Estate: Sformatino di basilico con crema di pomodoro e mozzarella # Autunno: Filettino di cervo con polenta alle castagne # Inverno: ...Bagna Caoda... Che si pronuncia Bagna Cauda ('u' di uva) ed è un tipico piatto invernale Piemontese. E' preparato con acciughe, aglio e olio; bollito per ore e servito bollente con verdure invernali. Ha un sapore unico especie questa preparata, ancora una volta, da Ugo Fontanone di "La Taverna di Fra Fiusch" -- Un'altra buona ragione per visitare Torino ;-)

It looks good & sounds delicious, too!
Now I'm hungry! Very well presented, although I'd be afraid that I'd knock that plate off the table it is so big!
They all look like tasty treats!

I don't remember when and where I saw this, but I think it was also here on your blog! Yum!
how fabulous this looks but how interesting too that all should be served n the same dish. Such colours. Yummy.
I will take the four seasons
mmm yummy!
The presentation is wonderful. I look forward to visiting Torino in the next year or so. Perhaps I can sample all four seasons during a short visit. I could say I'd spent a year in Torino! -:))

Fabrizio, mi hai uccisa !
Credo che mi gettero sul "porc au citron vert et gingembre" che ho preparato ieri sera, anche se non ho ancora dormito.
(Grazie pr il Lingotto).
... e la bagna caoda !
Cinque notti fa è nevicato, quindi è ancora di stagione.
Looks divine, yum!
