I'll turn you on to something good, then: "In Nonna's Kitchen", by Carol
Field. The author travelled around Italy, meeting grandmothers and begging
for their recipes. Much of it is not the typical Italian fare. Nice book. No
color pictures, so your mind has to be part of the porn-perception process.
:-) The profile of each granny is interesting reading, something you'd
probably enjoy even without the recipes if you found the article in a
newspaper.
