(More customer reviews)This is wonderful personal history of a Ligurian native who grew up in the restaurant trade and left after falling in love with an Austrailian girl to open an acclaimed restaurant in Sydney. The book is full of personal details and notes on restaurants in the region. In the back there is a largish group of recipes that look excellent. I've eaten some of the foods of the region (my favorite is testaroli with pesto) and think you will enjoy making these recipes. There is also interesting details about the effects of WWII on this region. Recommended!

At once a family saga, a love story, an eating guide, and a travel memoir, this recollection follows Lucio Galletto as he returns to his homeland in search ofhis foundations, hispersonal soffritto. In 1975, Lucio ran away to Australia with a beautiful woman with whom he fell in love at his parents’ restaurant—legendary for the way they cooked the local specialties—in Lunigiana, a city in northern Italy. This narrative traces Lucio on his mission to understand his family, the food, and the culture that prepared him to create the delicious menus in his restaurant, thousands of miles away from his birthplace and family. Full of tales from farmers, fishermen, war heroes, winemakers, waiters, hunters, cooks, cousins, aunts, shepherds, and scholars, this portrait of a journey explores the ingredients that make a life.
