Reflections of Italy

You have before you a book about the diversity and uniqueness of Italy's gastronomic traditions.  Twenty-five essays about Italian cities and their culinary features, complemented by carefully thought-out recipes that are easy to implement in your own kitchen.  Showing Italy... through the lens of regional culinary traditions, the author takes the reader across the country, paying attention not only to popular places like Rome, Florence, or Venice, but also to less known locations, allowing one to see Italy through the eyes of a traveler, not a tourist. Thanks to the magnificent illustrations, the book will make a wonderful gift for someone who is already familiar with the country or who dreams of discovering Italy.
