The Unprejudiced Palate by Angelo Pellegrini

First to recommend

Description

Written in 1948 by Angelo Pellegrini, The Unprejudiced Palate outlines a way to live sustainably in the world. Pellegrini, an Italian immigrant and teacher by profession, wrote this book to outline the importance of "bread and wine in relation to life". Both funny and insightful, this book is not a traditional cookbook, but contains plenty of information on true Italian cooking and how to eat locally.
