Description

Matthew Gavin Frank's memoir of his six-month sojourn in Barolo, Italy, is a rich and immersive account of food, wine, and small-town life. Living out of a tent in the garden of a local farmhouse, Frank immersed himself in the culinary traditions of Piemontese Italy.

Through his experiences, Frank shares stories of the region's eccentric vintners, butchers, bakers, and restaurateurs, as well as his own adventures in learning about Italian food from scratch. Along the way, he savors the local specialties and discovers the historical and cultural context behind them.

This book is a unique blend of travelogue, memoir, and culinary exploration, offering a wealth of information on Italian food, wine, and culture, as well as insights into the author's own experiences abroad.
