The Italian Country Table: Home Cooking from Italy's Farmhouse Kitchens
Lynne Rossetto Kasper

Scribner, 1999

not a bad dish yet

+ My Favorite Regional Italian Cookbook
+ Loving it!

I have had this book for years, and I have yet to make something out of it that hasn't been delicious. This one is a staple on the cookbook shelf. I've lived in Italy for a total of about 1.5 years (off and on), and this book really captures the flavors of "real" Italian food.

A great magazine. Intelligent articles on new and exciting music. I have discovered tons of new bands through this publication and I have never been let down. A worthwhile investment.
