Mark Leslie - Beyond the Pasta: Recipes, Language & Life with an Italian Family |
Beyond the Pasta: Recipes, Language & Life with an Italian Family is the story of how Mark traveled to Viterbo, Italy, to live with an Italian family. Once there, besides learning culinary secrets from Nonna, the grandmother of the family, and taking language lessons from Alessandra, the mother of the family, he truly developed a new, more enjoyable and uniquely Italian way of looking at the world. The book includes photographs of the sights, food, and people he encountered, along with 29 authentic, delicious family recipes Nonna shared with him. Beyond the Pasta delves into food memoir subject matter not found in a typical cookbook and, through this, the reader joins him on the day-to-day living, befuddled social interactions, laughing and shopping with Nonna, exploring the countryside and le gelatorie--what the Italians would call "La Dolce Vita"--the Sweet Life.
