Product Description
Book Description
Their opening sentiment says it all. "Our whole journey revolves around eating -- we are constantly looking at food or touching it, smelling it or reading about it. No wonder every three or four hours we want to eat." The Donovans toured Southern Italy to compose this unique and extensive culinary travel journal, brimming with impressions of places from Calabria to Sicily. Each chapter introduces a different place, featuring sumptuous Italian recipes ranging from a simple summer salad of fresh beans and tomato from market, to a delectably complex sautéed veal with Marsala sauce, to a positively sinful Ricotta cake.

Italy's best kept secret.,
By Shari Bundy (Baltimore, MD U.S.A. Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Salute!: Food, Wine, & Travel in Southern Italy (Hardcover)
Anyone who has ever considered taking a trip to the beautiful island of Sicily, should not even pack before reading this book. My friend and I just returned from a trip to this remarkable island and during the trip, we coincidentally stayed at a few of the places mentioned in this book and had an incredible time. While at one of the locations, I spotted the book. After only a few minutes of perusing, I knew I HAD to have this book. The Donovans, Simon and Robert had pretty much experienced a similar trip and I knew their vivid recount would help us remember the breathtaking land, the proud, gracious, full-of-life people who live there, and the indescribable food they produce. Their travel tips are right-on and a must for any Sicilian traveller. It has also inspired me to compile a travel journal of our trip. As a graphic designer myself, I also compliment the incredible layout and design. A wonderful coffee-table book for anyone to cherish.Molto bene.

When you read this book - should I say 'sample' it - and see the wonderful photographs of Italian landscapes, architectural features, and mouth watering food, have your 'plastic' ready, and a telephone nearby so you can book your own adventure. This book may just be the best combination touring/cooking/picture-taking guide to Italy that you will find. And hats off to the book designer who made it into a wonderful travel scrapbook. The design alone is the definitive guide to producing your own travel journal/diary/photo album. You will want to make a book like this for your own journey(s). For [the price], this is as close as you can get to being in Italy. In fact, if you play some of the Cieli di Toscana CD by Andrea Bocelli, drink a nice dry Italian red wine, and eat a little Bruschetti as you browse the pages of this coffee table book, you may be magically transported. Salute!
