About this title: Patience Gray traveled around Italy with her sculptor-companion, settling in a series of sites near marble quarries. In this classic of the genre, she surveys the culinary possibilities, which were often minimal, as well as the local rituals, with graceful prose and an open mind.

"This is one of those books that is a treasure and not so easy to find. I found my copy years ago in Goodwill and it will be one of those cookbooks and food writing books that I will pass on to the next generation in my family. If you like M.F.K. Fisher, you will love this book."
"Beautiful and simple. This is a very romantic view of the journey of cooking. From the pot you cook in to the basic roux of a sauce, it will leave you aching for a wood fired stove in the Italian countryside."
