eh. even in anticipation of a trip to Tuscany, I just couldn't get into this book. I skim-read some and now it's just time to return it to the library.

Fantastic journey through (elite) culinary times in Italy, how taste and needs change over time. There was so much use of cinnamon!

In theory I love the idea of a history of Italian food, but I found this a bit dry. Interesting information, but I didn’t enjoy the writing style.

Parts of this were super interesting and parts were super boring. So I wouldn't recommend it to people, unless, like me, you were going to Italy and wanted some background on the food you were going to eat. And I ate a LOT of food.
Una entretenídisima historia sobre el origen de lo que entendemos como cocina italiana desde la Edad Media hasta el presente (que por supuesto es un invento moderno como casi todo). Hay muchísima información que jamás se hace pesada y que Dickie además relaciona con otros eventos históricos (la formación de las primeras mafias, con los lazzari, la llegada de la papa y el tomate desde América y por supuesto, la interrelación con el Vaticano y los Papas). MUY interesante.
