Summary: Rustic Transportation ... transcendent
Comment: Okay, my title may be a LITTLE over the top, but I'm not even a foodie and I can hardly wait to sink my teeth into this tome. Yet another of the five cookbooks I bought as Christmas presents, this one looks to be the winner.
It's a trip through Italy by each region's food. The color photography is stunning. But I feel as if I can LEARN all manner of fascinating details reading this book (thank goodness I bought it for my husband so I don't have to give it away). And, most thoughtfully, after making us salivate to sample each region's fare, the author gives us lists of "Favorite Restaurants, Shops and Places" for each locale.
Italy's travel industry should be sponsoring Micol Negrin. What a find!

Summary: Awesome
Comment: This book is so awesome: much more than just for cooking. The little sidebar stories-true gems and written by someone who knows what they are talking about. I found the accompanying website, ... very useful-showcasing not only recipes but also travel advisory, shopping tips, regional customs etc

Summary: Rustico, a look at Italian cooking and regional living
Comment: Rustico is one of the few cookbooks I have actually sat down with a cup of coffee and read pretty much cover to cover. I felt as though Ms. Negrin was sitting across the table from me narrating a story. She has the unique talent of personable writing that comes across in her anecdotes relating to every region she visited. I trust her extensive knowlege of regional cooking, and feel transported from place to place as the book tells the tales of so many aspects of cooking and living in such different areas of Italy.
From the delicious braised venison with creamy grappa sauce of Val d'Aosta, to the beet-filled ravioli with poppy seeds of the Veneto, to the mint and lemon laced cheese pillows in chestnut honey of Sardinia, this book hands us traditional recipes only someone with uneditied access to kitchens in the homes of Italians of every region could gather.
The book's beautiful photography of both inspiring dishes as well as day to day living in Italy convey a sort of warmth and familiarity reminiscent of Ms. Negrin's writing.
I highly recommend the book to anyone looking to discover the legacy of regional Italian cooking.
