About this ebook
A colorfully photographed journey through Italy’s food scene by a James Beard and IACP Award winner: “Delightful, funny . . . a wonderful culinary guide.” —Publishers Weekly
This is not a cookbook. This is something more: a travelogue, a patient investigation of Italy’s cuisine, a loving profile of the everyday heroes who bring Italy to the table.
Town by town, bite by bite, Matt Goulding brings Italy to life through intimate portraits of its food culture and the people pushing it in new directions: Three globe-trotting brothers who became the mozzarella kings of Puglia; the pizza police of Naples and the innovative pies that stay one step ahead of the rules; the Barolo Boys who turned the hilly Piedmont into one of the world’s great wine regions.
More than 200 lush color photographs introduce the chefs, shepherds, fisherman, farmers, grandmas, and guardians who power this country’s extraordinary culinary traditions. From the pasta temples of Rome to the multicultural markets of Sicily to the family-run, fish-driven trattorias of Lake Como, Pasta, Pane, Vino—from the author of the award-winning Grape, Olive, Pig and Rice, Noodle, Fish—captures the breathtaking diversity of Italian regional food culture.
“Italy is a beautiful but complicated place, not so much a country as a collection of cultures and cuisines. Matt Goulding expertly navigates its wonders and eccentricities with wisdom and great passion.” —Anthony Bourdain
“Goulding is pioneering a new type of writing about food.” —Financial Times
