"If you've traveled in Italy, you've probably wondered why, say, pasta with chickpeas is made differently in towns 10 kilometers apart, or why you have never found that spice cake you loved in Terni anywhere else. That's because Italian cooking isn't just regional, it's microregional as La Cucin aproves to fascinating effect. This book packs in so many recipes there's no room for bucolic back stories, photos or detailed instructions but what delicious recipes you'll find picking and preparing dishes at random will prove an enjoyable game for winter's day." - New York Times Book Review
