After a lifetime of living and eating in Rome, Elizabeth Minchilli
is an expert on the city's cuisine. While she's proud to share
everything she knows about Rome, she now wants to show her devoted
readers that the rest of Italy is a gastronomic treasure trove just
waiting to be explored. Far from being a monolithic gastronomic
culture, each region of Italy offers its own specialties. While
fava beans mean one thing in Rome, they mean an entirely different
thing in Puglia. Risotto in a Roman trattoria? Don't even consider
it. Visit Venice and not eat cichetti? Unthinkable. Eating My Way
Through Italy, celebrates the gastronomic differences in the
world's favorite cuisine. Divided geographically, Eating My Way
Through Italy looks at all the different aspects of Italian food
culture. Whether it's pizza in Naples, deep fried squid in Venice,
street food in Palermo, an elegant dinner in Milan, gathering and
cooking capers on Pantelleria, or drinking a chocolate laced coffee
in Torino, each chapter includes, not just anecdotes and personal
stories, but also recipes that explore the cultural and historical
references that make these subjects timeless. For anyone who
follows Elizabeth on her blog Elizabeth Minchilli in Rome, read her
first book Eating Rome, or used her brilliant phone app Eating
Italy to dine well, Eating My Way Through Italy, is a must.

"NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF "MY PARIS KITCHEN
"
Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris
ever since he first visited the city in the 1980s. Finally, after a
nearly two-decade career as a pastry chef and cookbook author, he
moved to Paris to start a new life. Having crammed all his worldly
belongings into three suitcases, he arrived, hopes high, at his new
apartment in the lively Bastille neighborhood.
But he soon discovered it's a different world "en France."
From learning the ironclad rules of social conduct to the mysteries
of men's footwear, from shopkeepers who work so hard not to sell
you anything to the etiquette of working the right way around the
cheese plate, here is David's story of how he came to fall in love
with--and even understand--this glorious, yet sometimes maddening,
city.
When did he realize he had morphed into "un vrai parisien"? It
might have been when he found himself considering a purchase of
men's dress socks with cartoon characters on them. Or perhaps the
time he went to a bank with 135 euros in hand to make a 134-euro
payment, was told the bank had no change that day, and thought it
was completely normal. Or when he found himself dressing up to take
out the garbage because he had come to accept that in Paris
appearances and image mean everything.
The more than fifty original recipes, for dishes both savory and
sweet, such as Pork Loin with Brown Sugar-Bourbon Glaze, Braised
Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, Bacon and Bleu Cheese
Cake, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Chocolate Spice Bread,
Lemon-Glazed Madeleines, and Mocha-Creme Fraiche Cake, will have
readers running to the kitchen once they stop laughing.
"The Sweet Life in Paris" is a deliciously funny, offbeat, and
irreverent look at the city of lights, cheese, chocolate, and other
confections.
