Par Farley Mowat. 1996

Par Marlena Blasi. 2009
Ce n'est pas un conte, c'est une histoire vraie. L'enthousiaste et désarmante Marlena, bouleversée par sa rencontre avec son "bel…
étranger", va liquider en quelques semaines tout ce qu'elle avait en Amérique, une jolie maison, un charmant restaurant, une brillante carrière de critique gastronomique et de "chef", pour aller vivre avec lui à Venise. Certes, il y aura pas mal d'obstacles à surmonter, la langue qu'elle ne parle pas, l'appartement sinistre de son mari, la solitude, l'ennui, car elle n'a ni amis ni travail là-bas. Mais Marlena a de la ressource et elle va nous entraîner dans le récit plein d'humour de ses découvertes, de ses mécomptes, puis de son bonheur à se sentir peu à peu "acceptée".

Par Teresa Lust. 2020
"Moving from the Piedmont region in northern Italy to the Maremma in southern Tuscany, and then to Le Marche along…
the Adriatic coast, Teresa Lust interweaves portraits of the people who served as her culinary guides with cultural and natural history, in this charming exploration of authentic Italian cuisine. We learn how to prepare bagna cauda-a robust dipping sauce of anchovies, garlic, and olive oil-with Lust's relatives outside Torino. We make hand-stretched grissini, Italy's iconic breadstick, and learn the secrets of zabaione, a classic dessert of egg yolks, sugar, and marsala whisked into an ethereal foam. In the Tuscan village of Manciano we discover the story of acquacotta, a rustic "stone" soup that nourished generations of the area's shepherds and cowhands. And in the town of Camerano, an eighty-year-old woman reveals the art of hand-rolling pasta with a three-foot rolling pin. Underpinning Lust's travels is her journey from chef to cook, mirroring the fact that Italians have been masters of home cooking for generations, and remain a vibrant source of inspiration. Today, more and more people are rediscovering the pleasures of cooking at home, and Lust's account-and wonderfully delicious recipes-will help readers bring an Italian sensibility to their home tables." -- Dust jacketSuffragette: the battle for equality

S. in beautiful portraits and thrilling scenes that bring them--and their courageous efforts--to vivid life." -- Dust jacket
