I LIKED THE HISTORY BUT EXPECTED TO FIND RECIPES !!

"Italian Cuisine" is one of those books that explores the deep cultural history of Italian Cooking. It covers the broad range of roman times to current times and the individual histories of food, preparation, presentation, and even the history of the fork. Full of knowledge, insights, and history, this book is not for casual reading, but for the cook seeking a deep knowledge of everyting Italian.

Really interesting history of Italian cookery. Well researched and explained.
