A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

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!
