Beschreibung

“A lovely balance of memoir, travelogue and olive-growing how-to . . . Some of her adventures are quite funny.” —Publishers Weekly In this memoir, the author of The Olive Farm returns to the ten-acre property for which she and her fiancé scraped together their savings to buy—just back from their wedding on a tiny Polynesian island, loaded down with luggage and a large hand-painted didgeridoo. As Carol and Michel settle in as husband and wife, they experience the glamor of southern France at dinner parties in the company of aristocrats and at the world-renowned Cannes film festival, as well as the dirt-caked, sun-baked life of farmers—especially after their gardener heads to Algiers to arrange his youngest son’s wedding. For Carol, though, what matters most is that her longtime dream of motherhood finally promises to come true—and over the course of The Olive Season, she shares the story of her hopes and fears as she anticipates another kind of growth and nurturing. Alternately entertaining and emotionally poignant, this memoir is a rich portrait of love, longing, and the constant uncertainties of the cycle of life.

    “[An] entertaining and savory gastronomical history of the cuisine of Italy and how it won over appetites worldwide.” —USA TodayNot so long ago, Italian food was regarded as a poor man's gruel—little more than pizza, macaroni with sauce, and red wines in a box. Here, John Mariani shows how the Italian immigrants to America created, through perseverance and sheer necessity, an Italian-American food culture, and how it became a global obsession. The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly
