Food of Italy

The Food of Italy gives you a taste of a country that is passionate about its food. Join our culinary journey from the kitchens of Sicily to the cheese-makers of Naples, through the vineyards of Tuscany to the restaurants of Bologna, and discover some of the dishes that define today's Italian cooking. Try a simple seafood antipasto, a rich polenta with wild mushrooms, or strawberries drizzled with balsamic. Each recipe is photographed as it is made, and is accompanied by useful tips on preparation and ingredients. Vivid photographs illustrate the very best produce: from market fresh vegetables to Mediterranean and regional cheeses.
