  The land where lemons bloom was already a fascinating travel destination long before Goethe identified it as such. The grand culture and varied landscapes of Italy have attracted and inspired artists and writers of every epoch. Since the time of classic educational trips to the ancient sites of the Apennine Peninsula, ever increasing numbers of travellers have developed an affinity to this country and the zest for life of its inhabitants. Indeed, the simple and yet ingenious Italian cuisine has become the expression of countless visitors' approach toward life. In 496 pages and more than 1,200 colour photographs, Culinaria Italy introduces not only kitchen and cellar, but also the land and people who reside between the Alps' peaks and the pointed toe of the Italian boot . More than 380 time-tested recipes from every region of the country ensure that a feast for the palate can follow the stimulating reading pleasure.
