Italian Food
Italian Food | Elizabeth David
4 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Elizabeth David's Italian Food was one of the first books to demonstrate the enormous range of Italy's regional cooking. For the foods of Italy, explained David, expanded far beyond minestrone and ravioli, to the complex traditions of Tuscany, Sicily, Lombardy, Umbria, and many other regions. David imparts her knowledge from her many years in Italy, exploring, researching, tasting and testing dishes. Her passion for real food, luscious, hearty, fresh, and totally authentic, will inspire anyone who wishes to recreate the abundant and highly unique regional dishes of Italy.

I went to the first (of two) big yearly charity book sales that we have in my city and made out quite well: some green Viragos, a couple of thrillers to stick in the camper for this summer‘s travels, and two foodie #FolioSociety editions. 👍

jlhammar Wow, great finds! Those Folios are beautiful. I‘ve been curious about that Cavanagh thriller. Sounds fun! 2y

#BookNDinner! Well, it was with us, but we didn't read. Surprise 60th bday family dinner for my father ☺️??. Great place! 6-course meal. This was the main course. It was...well, I don't know what it was, but it was darn good!!! Some kind of special fettuccine noodles, crab, giant scallops and shrimp, sautéed broccoli rabe, garlic, in an olive oil and butter sauce. MAMMA MIA!!! ????

Lola Happy birthday Papa Book! 🍷🍾🎉🎊🎈📚 7y
