This is a visually stunning book that takes you on a gastronomic journey revealing the products, the produce and the cooking of six regions in Italy - Piedmont, Veneto, Liguria, Le Marche, Puglia and Sardinia. Anna Del Conte provides a unique insight into these undiscovered parts of Italy that will make you want to visit after enjoying Val Archer's paintings and Anna's stories. Anna observes how passionate Italians are about the flavour and variety of their foods, seasonality, regional specialties and recipes, local producers and local food customs. In each region there are recipes choosen to represent the best use of the local produce, from restaurants or directly from local cooks. This is a totally original food book: for the first time here is a title that is lavishly illustrated with original paintings - over 100 rich oils by a leading painter.
