Review:

'An outstanding all-in-one travelogue, cookbook and literary guide, whereby the author displays her passion for Italian food with mouth-watering servings of authentic local dishes. All the main regions of Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia are introduced by their cuisine and the book features many recipes and useful information on where to eat and drink.' -- Robert Giorgione FoodWineTravel 'This book - equal parts travelogue, cookbook and literary tome - is filled with shrewd and observant prose.' The Glasgow Herald 'Alice Vollenweider's "culinary journey" through Italy fuses anecdotes with recipes, a winning combination mastered by Elizabeth David, Michel Roux, Elizabeth Ayrton and Colette Rossant.' -- Matthew Bell Times Literary Supplement
