"You had me at Italy in a Glass. I mean really, and this gorgeous treasure of a book delivers it, along with Italy on a plate (again;), Italy at table, at home, in a vineyard, in history, and you get the idea. A thousand gondoliers—I don’t care how handsome—could not keep me from having this book in my kitchen library. As for the recipes, there are classics, yes, but also some delectable new-to-me drinks and dishes which as a lazy but frequent host, I welcome con brio. Bravissima, Susan, you’ve done it again!"
