Publisher Synopsis
""The Italian Way" is a deep, rich, and complex analysis of food practices and the way they implicate and are involved in every aspect of society. The descriptions of the meals are elegantly informal, but probing and informative. The photographs are integral to those descriptions--not illustrations of some points the authors make, but points in their own right. Along the way you gain a complicated understanding of the nature of a 'proper' Italian meal: what it has to contain, how it has to be served, what the acceptable limits of variation are, and many other things. I've seldom read a work of sociology that left me feeling I had learned so much I didn't know."--Howard S. Becker, author of "Tricks of the Trade "and "Telling About Society"
--Howard S. Becker
