A Real Gastronomic Journey,
By
This review is from: Salute!: Food, Wine and Travel in Southern Italy (Paperback)
Delightful book - not only are you taken on a colourful journey to Southern Italy - with anecdotes and photographs - the recipes are wonderful and very easy to replicate. I like this book better than others about Sicilian cookery - because its written by several individuals from different backgrounds, each adding their own perspectives - likes and dislikes, with the writers making you feel as if you are there, sharing the experience. This book inspired me to seek-out authentic ingredients - including wonderful buccatini pasta (better than spaghetti) and brilliant olive oils which I now know how to use to best effect. So far I've tried 15 recipes and all have come-out restaurant quality - my favourites being the caponata (sweet & sour aubergine), the sardine pasta and the gnocchi (best recipe for ricotta dumplings I've found).

Italy's best kept secret.,
By Shari Bundy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Salute!: Food, Wine, & Travel in Southern Italy (Hardcover)
Anyone who has ever considered taking a trip to the beautiful island of Sicily, should not even pack before reading this book. My friend and I just returned from a trip to this remarkable island and during the trip, we coincidentally stayed at a few of the places mentioned in this book and had an incredible time. While at one of the locations, I spotted the book. After only a few minutes of perusing, I knew I HAD to have this book. The Donovans, Simon and Robert had pretty much experienced a similar trip and I knew their vivid recount would help us remember the breathtaking land, the proud, gracious, full-of-life people who live there, and the indescribable food they produce. Their travel tips are right-on and a must for any Sicilian traveller. It has also inspired me to compile a travel journal of our trip. As a graphic designer myself, I also compliment the incredible layout and design. A wonderful coffee-table book for anyone to cherish.Molto bene. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Pack your bags, your camera, and your appetite!,
By Colin J. Clarke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Salute!: Food, Wine, & Travel in Southern Italy (Hardcover)
When you read this book - should I say 'sample' it - and see the wonderful photographs of Italian landscapes, architectural features, and mouth watering food, have your 'plastic' ready, and a telephone nearby so you can book your own adventure. This book may just be the best combination touring/cooking/picture-taking guide to Italy that you will find. And hats off to the book designer who made it into a wonderful travel scrapbook. The design alone is the definitive guide to producing your own travel journal/diary/photo album. You will want to make a book like this for your own journey(s). For [the price], this is as close as you can get to being in Italy. In fact, if you play some of the Cieli di Toscana CD by Andrea Bocelli, drink a nice dry Italian red wine, and eat a little Bruschetti as you browse the pages of this coffee table book, you may be magically transported. Salute! |
