Book Review of The Cooking of Italy

The Cooking of Italy
reviewed on + 222 more book reviews


Incredibly in-depth document on regional Italian Food! It is nearly impossible to imagine a more complete reference book on the often over-looked and easily misunderstood subject of Regional Italian Cuisine and Culture (the two seem to go hand in hand). With two indexes (one for food references and another "general" for names and places) make this book indispensable for anyone who has an interest in anything Italian. This book, coupled with "The Food of Southern Italy" by Carlo Middione, and "Italian Food" by Elizebeth David, creates an complete library on the subject with nearly every stone turned. ~ M. Fantino.
