The Italy Food Companion shows you how to enjoy the best of
Italian food, understand a menu and know how to order in a restaurant or
street market. It complements the Blue Guides' classic guide-book range
as preparation for and accompaniment to any visit to Italy.
Comprehensive coverage from pizza and pasta to rare regional delicacies,
fine wines, plus separate entries on seasonal food, Mediterranean fish,
wines and aperitifs, and more.
It's also an extensive phrasebook--divided into 'what it means' (Italian
into English; including a glossary) and 'how to ask for' (English into
Italian).
This good-looking guide, with stylish black and white line drawings and
photographs, would also work well as a gift item.
