Italy Food Companion : Phrasebook & Miscellany (Blue Guides) (3RD)

The Italy Food Companion shows you how to enjoy the best of Italian food, understand a menu and know how to order in a restaurant or street market. It complements the Blue Guides' classic guide-book range as preparation for and accompaniment to any visit to Italy. Comprehensive coverage from pizza and pasta to rare regional delicacies, fine wines, plus separate entries on seasonal food, Mediterranean fish, wines and aperitifs, and more. It's also an extensive phrasebook--divided into 'what it means' (Italian into English; including a glossary) and 'how to ask for' (English into Italian). This good-looking guide, with stylish black and white line drawings and photographs, would also work well as a gift item.
