From Library Journal:
This attractive volume follows Geraldene Holt's Recipes from a French Herb Garden ( LJ 5/15/89) from the same publisher. Harris, author of several books on Italian food, focuses on rustic regional fare, simple and traditional home cooking. She provides background on each dish, and the text is heavily illustrated with color photographs of the countryside and its specialties. However, there are a number of good books available on Italian regional cuisine; for larger collections.
