The cookbook "Let's Eat Italy!" is the ultimate book on every aspect of Italian food - inspiring, comprehensive, colorful, comprehensive, joyful and downright encyclopedic. A fantastic book for foodies and a delightful culinary reference book. From the same team that created Let's Eat France! comes this celebration of Italian food in the form of an oversized, obsessively complete, visual feast of a book.

With a mix of gastronomy, food science, history, cultural references, legend, lore, charts, graphs, photographs and illustrations, each of the 400 pages in Let's Eat Italy! is an enticing and entertaining journey through Italian food.

Readers will find recipes for classic Italian dishes from all regions, such as pappa al pomodoro, Bolognese, risi e bisi, risotto, focaccia, frittata and more - all accompanied by photographs and wonderfully entertaining information on the origins and modern uses of the food. There is an ode to panettone, the traditional sweet Christmas treat. A dedication to the magic of basil, Italy's "royal" herb. A love story between pasta and potatoes that explores the many dishes that blend these two starches in delicious harmony. And of course, information on pasta abounds; it is covered in guides such as the one on the ultimate noodle, spaghetti, with all its different forms, the best spaghetti artisans in Italy and semolina mills and farmers.

Real Italians speak espresso, so readers will be pleased to see the poster-like image showing 27 different types of espresso drinks. Tips for the kitchen include cooking beans in a chianti bottle - a trick Tuscan nonnas have used for centuries in the dish known as fagioli al fiasco.

Learn how contemporary food trends (like the oh-so-trendy orange wine, which Italians have been drinking for nearly 8,000 years) have their roots in Italy. But the influence of Italian food doesn't stop at the table - an entire spread looks at the favorite dishes of the Italian mob as seen in Hollywood, through the lenses of Scorsese, Leone and Coppola.
