| Summary |
In 2003, chef and photographer Theroux was awarded the Arnold Fellowship by Brown University to travel to Italy and document food traditions. Part journalistic tour of Italy and part cookbook, this is a tribute to Italian grandmothers. While many grandmothers likely cook the slow-food way, Theroux shares tips such as using a food processor, using room-temperature eggs, and breading a rabbit before frying to make the dishes accessible for beginning cooks. The photographs of food, landscapes, and cooks are breathtaking. This will likely be of most interest to those with Italian backgrounds or travelers looking to bring a taste of the country home with them. |
