Pasta, Pane, Vino: Deep Travels Through Italy's Food Culture (Roads & Kingdoms Presents)

A colorfully photographed exploration of Italy's food culture by James Beard and IACP Award winner Matt Goulding. This travelogue investigates Italian cuisine through intimate portraits of the people and traditions that define it across regions. Goulding profiles everyday figures shaping Italy's food scene: three brothers who became mozzarella producers in Puglia, Naples pizza makers working within and around traditional rules, and the Barolo Boys who developed Piedmont's wine reputation. The book features over 200 color photographs of chefs, shepherds, fishermen, farmers, and others sustaining Italy's culinary traditions. The journey spans from Rome's pasta culture to Sicily's multicultural markets to the fish-focused trattorias of Lake Como, documenting the regional diversity of Italian food. Goulding is also the author of Grape, Olive, Pig and Rice, Noodle, Fish.
