from Viking Adult
Price: $14.23
Customer Review:
Although this book gained huge popularity almost immediately after its release--which was a full two years ago now--initially, I had some reluctance to read it. This is surprising given that 1) I'm about the same age as the author, 2) I generally really enjoy memoirs, and 3) I've studied Italian and... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Knopf
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
This is the most recent of three Lidia books I own and use. The Babas infused with Limoncello (Naples) was easier than I thought, the Beef Goulash (Trieste) from northern Italy a surprise, rivaled the recipe I love from Wolfgang Puck, and he knows goulash. The Marsala Scallopine dish (Sicily) was... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I love this series so far, I am basically obsessed with it, and I was concerned about the reviews that said the FC was a boring read.
I couldn't disagree more.

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
This book IS like a little feast. A savory narrative about French culture and cuisine, peppered with tidbits about Australia, a hint of India and a good measure of the Anglo/American influences on this writer and his love of food.
BUT, don't buy this sweet/piquant morsel based on the Amazon... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

We went to Italy in 2007 and used this book, it helped us out a lot. Knowing when things like museums and other sites would be open and when not is a big help. The night time walk through Rome that appears in this book was one of the highlights of our trip, it was absolutely beautiful.
