Matt Goulding, a James Beard Award-winning writer, has never written better, writing in perfect sync with the book's inventive design and the more than 200 beautiful color pictures that showcase the chefs, shepherds, fisherman, farmers, nonne, and guardians that power this country's extraordinary culinary traditions. Pasta, Pane, Vino depicts the richness of Italian regional food culture in a beautiful tribute, from the pasta temples of Rome to the cosmopolitan markets of Sicily to the family-run, fish-driven trattorias of Lake Como.
