A glimpse of Italy,
By
This review is from: Giuliano Bugialli's Foods of Italy (Paperback)
Mr. Bugialli's book is a classic combination of coffee table picture book and fine cookbook. The recipes do not represent many of the standard Italian "classics." (from the tourist point of view). Instead, they take you deeper into Italian cuisine. The recipe for Torta di funghi was worth the price of the book according to the friends I served it to. Some recipes involve unusual ingredients, but that is OK with me. I care more about authenticity, than about convenience. The fact that the text and pictures take you on a mini-tour of Italy makes this a great book, not just a great cookbook.

A personal celebration of 125 recipes w/ full color photos,
By
This review is from: Giuliano Bugialli's Foods of Italy (Hardcover)
The cuisine of Italy, inspired by the beauty and elegance, the tastes and textures of the country itself, is one of that nation's richest cultural heritages. This book is a very personal celebration of the foods and traditions of this Italian culinary authority and award-winning author.
The classic cucina of Italy is represented here by 125 recipes prepared by Bugialli. We are offered an extensive and delicious menu...vegetables, pasta, fish, meat, poultry, game, wine, cheese, fruits, and desserts...including such dishes as Guinea Hen with Polenta, Trout with Black Truffles, Risotto with Zucchini Blossoms, Green Tomato Spaghetti, and Chocolate-Stuffed Pears. In a charming and informative text, Bugialli shares anecdotes about each of his recipes and about the growing, harvesting, and preparation of the ingredients. The exceptional full-color photos were taken by veteran photographer John Dominis. The dishes are set against the architecture and landscapes of Italy, to tie together history, culture, and cuisine.
