I imagine this is of more use to someone unfamiliar with Italy and with Italian food. That being said it is a comprehensive guide to some of the culture, history, and ingredients linked to Italian food. A nice little guide to add to the shelf.

Love this series so much! Great overview of the country, it's history, the types of food, where you can find them, and regional specialties. Read these before you go to any of the countries in the series!
