The Food of Italy

About this book

THE FOOD OF ITALY is the first in a series of richly photographed cookbooks that examines the food of different countries. Lush images and essays on Italy and its world-famous gastronomic culture make this much more than a cookbook. Pictorial essays presented in gatefold spreads highlight six food journeys and share the traditions behind Italys best-known exports: cheese pizza cured meat pasta coffee and wine. A glossary of Italian food and cooking terms will help transform anyones kitchen into a cucina.
