Salute!

Salute! by Donovan, Gail. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781571456854.

Their opening sentiment says it all. "Our whole journey revolves around eating -- we are constantly looking at food or touching it, smelling it or reading about it. No wonder every three or four hours we want to eat." The Donovans toured Southern Italy to compose this unique and extensive culinary travel journal, brimming with impressions of places from Calabria to Sicily. Each chapter introduces a different place, featuring sumptuous Italian recipes ranging from a simple summer salad of fresh beans and tomato from market, to a delectably complex sautéed veal with Marsala sauce, to a positively sinful Ricotta cake.
