Foreword, by Carol Field Preface to the English-Language Edition, by Oretta Zanini De Vita Translator's Preface, by Maureen B. Fant Voyage in the Pasta Universe: The Reasons for This Research, by Oretta Zanini De Vita Introduction to the First Italian Edition, by Corrado Barberis Traditional Italian Pasta Shapes A to Z Glossary Notes Bibliography Index
Synopsis
Spaghetti, gnocchi, tagliatellea, ravioli, vincisgrassi, strascinati --pasta in its myriad forms has been a staple of the Mediterranean diet longer than bread. This beautiful volume is the first book to provide a complete history of pasta in Italy, telling its long story via the extravagant variety of shapes it takes and the even greater abundance of names by which it is known. Food scholar Oretta Zanini De Vita traveled to every corner of her native Italy, recording oral histories, delving into long-forgotten family cookbooks, and searching obscure archives to produce this rich and uniquely personal compendium of historical and geographical information. For each entry she includes the primary ingredients, preparation techniques, variant names, and the locality where it is made and eaten. Along the way, Zanini De Vita debunks such culinary myths as Marco Polo's supposed role in pasta's story even as she serves up a feast of new information. Encyclopedia of Pasta, illustrated throughout with original drawings by Luciana Marini, will be the standard reference on one of the world's favorite foods for many years to come, engaging and delighting both general readers and food professionals. Learn more about Oretta Zanini De Vita's work through this article and slideshow published by the New York Times .

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
