Recommended For You
It is structured by dish type rather than area and is filled with details of kitchens and cooking by painters from the 14th, 15th, and 18th centuries. This is a critical and analytical look at Italian cuisine. Her personality and point of view are evident on practically every page. The book is jam-packed with asides and quotations from Italian authors and intellectuals, and the appendices of references and wine notes serve as proof that this is more of a scholarly effort than a straightforward cookbook.
Elizabeth David's masterwork is the best place to start if you want to learn more about the genuine regional origins of the Italian kitchen.
