London England, Bantam Books, 2003. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 059304942X Hadrback Hardback. First Edition. In this book, the author travels the length and breadth of italy in order to get to the roots of Italian food. Our intrepid gastronome eats whatever gets in his way - which often isn't quite what it seems. If its cheese then it may be considered edible only when it has been predigested by maggots or perhpas made soley from the milk of tired cows. A bowl of pasta might come with donkey sauce. A dish of wind-dried runa apparently includes its testicles. A lovely risotto has been made with seagull broth..His quest for the most delicious and authentic ooking and the very finest ingredients takes him to some wonderfully familiar places as well as others far off the beaten track. A joy from cover to cover and 100 per cent mierda di bufala-free, Al Dente is a must for anyone with an interest in italy or its food. It will probably make you want to book a holiday and it will certainly make you laugh. Illustrated. 338 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .
