Wonderful cookbook, with great recipes and beautiful photos.
There are many cookbooks specializing in Italian cuisine, but this is one of the very best I have seen and experienced.  Italy is a country comprised of twenty regions, each with its unique and distinctive culinary traditions. This book features recipes from the central region of Umbria, a land known for its magnificent art, charming hill towns, gentle landscape, and fantastic food. Letizia's recipes are mostly simple, non-pretentious, authentic, and delicious. They are organized by season, which reflects a culinary tradition that is based on seasonal, local ingredients. The book is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of short essays on Italian food culture and spectacular photos.<br /><br />This is a &#34;must-have&#34; book for anyone wanting to experience authentic central Italian food! It also makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in cooking and Italian culture.
