Faith Willinger has spent three decades exploring Italy. Along the way, she's made many friends, eaten lots of tasty meals, and collected a wealth of authentic Italian recipes. In this book, both cookbook and travelogue, she pays tribute to her friends and to the food and wine she's enjoyed in their company. If you plan to visit Italy, you can use this book as a guide to finding some of Willinger's favorite places, from tiny shops, to outdoor markets, to great restaurants. If you can't travel to Italy, Willinger's recipes from real Italian kitchens, her profiles of the cooks who perfected them, and her sister's watercolors of Italian friends and scenery beautifully evoke the essence of Italy.
