Outside of Italy, the country's culture and its food appear to be essentially synonymous. This book elucidates the guiding principle of the Italian table - a delicate balance between the structure of tradition and the joy of improvisation. It presents the history of food in Italy, including the 500-old story of the country's cookbooks.
