The intriguing tale of how one sizable nation made up of remarkably different areas came to create some of the most delectable and adored meals of all time is skilfully presented in this "revelatory history of gourmet Italy from antiquity to today" (Publishers Weekly).
One fundamental truth about Italian cuisine must be acknowledged if you want to comprehend it: it is a city food. Pizza Napoletana, prosciutto di Parma, and bistecca alla fiorentina are just a few examples of the many Italian meals and dishes that bear city names. Italy has the longest continuous heritage of urban living, and food has been a significant part of that culture.
