From Booklist
Fruit has always been the Italian table's preferred dessert. Who better to explicate this use of fruits than the doyenne of Florentine cooking, Lorenza de'Medici?
A Passion for Fruit describes each fruit in turn and presents a few simple recipes. For kiwis, a sweetened fresh ricotta cream enrobes the fruit. Red and white grapefruit sections and green olives combine with gin for a summer first course. Some fruits work in savory combinations: figs, bacon, onion, and ham make an unusual pasta sauce. Vividly reproduced photographs on matte black backgrounds boost the book's visual drama.
