After several attempts to learn about Italian cooking, I decided to get this well-known (and loved)book, albeit in translation.Great fun to read and many great recipes to try. I expect to experiment rather than accurately follow some of the rather vague instructions for some recipes. Well worth a look if you're at all interested in food and cooking history.
Offbeat and slightly quirky guidebook but just the thing for student just arrived in London. Gives ideas for things to do which aren't necessarily in more traditional guides.
