Italian Food
1996 (Reprint of 1987 edition).
Barrie & Jenkins for Random House
, London, England
Unlike the scarce 1954 First edition, this edition reprint seems ideal to be utilised on site in the kitchen by any chef or good domestic cook of the best Italian food. This book was originally a revelation apparently; "for the first time it brought to non-Italian readers the enormous richness, variety and colour of Italian cooking". Perhaps for the experienced devotee rather than the newcomer needing some 'hand-holding'. Delightful, in pristine, as-new condition nevertheless.
