Product Description
Review
There is far more to Italy than pizza, pasta and Bolognese sauce. It is a country profoundly influenced by its neighbours, its history and its people with every region having their own specialities and wines. Fred Plotkin, aka "Garibaldi with a fork", having followed in his footsteps all over this evocative country, shares his memories of over 25 years residence, describing with salivatory delight the tastes, aromas and ambience of Italian eating. His dedication to the gastronomic gems to be found here are obvious - anyone who can fill the better part of twenty pages describing a single meal obviously spends his life according to his stomach! Region by region, Plotkin gives a highly personalised tour of the bars, restaurants, shops and markets, interspersed with places to see and be seen. Much more than a gastronomic guide, this is a journal of memories of a country Plotkin obviously adores - its people, geography, climate as well as food-making. It is as much a bedtime read as a food and travel guide and all visitors to Italy, looking to enjoy and share in its culture, will find this indispensable. - Lucy Watson
