  Naples and the Campania are home to one of the most vibrant, but under-appreciated cuisines of Italy, and in order to make it better known the Government of the Regione of Campania has commissioned this sequel to Carla Capalbo's well-known Food Lover's Companion to Tuscany - a task that has taken two solid years of research. Like the earlier volume, the Food Lover's Companion to Naples and the Campania covers restaurants, trattorias, osterias, wineries, food shops, and artisan producers of cheeses, meats, honey, ice cream, aperitifs, and even perfumes. There are full descriptions of the many specialities of the region, such as mozzarella, recipes for local dishes, and a wealth of information for the traveller. Over 200 photographs in full colour bring the extraordinary gastronomic riches of this region to life. Directions, opening times, telephone numbers and other essential details are given, as well as maps of each province. Both practical and personal, this is the most complete and informative guide of its kind available, and the ideal companion to any exploration of Naples and its region.
