The dog who ate the truffle

Veteran food critic Suzanne Carreiro spent a year and a half in Umbria, and this is her intimate look at its ancient recipes, traditions, and the people who pass them on. Each of the book's eight chapters features local cooks, and their personal stories are as much a part of the cuisine's essence as are the crops they grow and the family dishes they prepare. The Dog Who Ate The Truffle immerses the reader in the people, cuisine, and lifestyle that few are privileged to experience. Suzanne's colorful stories and authentic classic recipes make for an intimate and illustrious travel cookbook.
