These two books are an example of the extensive English language book list of the Touring Club of Italy (TCI). Also note that the TCI sheet (and book) maps are by far the most reliable aids to navigating around Italy. You can get most of them them from Amazon (try entering "Touring Club of Italy" to see what they have).

This is the classic book about Italian Cookery - 720 pages and no photos means that it's crammed with a serious amount of wisdom and insight!

These food and restaurant pages are part of Paradoxplace (about Paradoxplace). In addition to its restaurant and food pages, Paradoxplace contains over 7,000 photographs covering much of Italy. Spain and Portugal, France, and Britain, and other places as diverse as Constantinople, and Mughal India. Paradoxplace also contains extensive illustrated chronologies, maps etc featuring the interesting movers and shakers and places in the worlds of history, art and thinking - from the end of the Western Roman Empire (about 500AD), through the boomtimes of the high middle ages (1200s) and the Italian Renaissance (1400s) to the entry of the Nation States of Early Modern Europe (around 1600AD). Wherever possible, looking, eating and story telling are combined - apart from the special food pages linked above, many of the other pages have food photos and restaurant and hotel notes.
We are not commercially sponsored (but have nothing against this in principle!), and we make no charge for any of the listings and recommendations - the only criteria are those of interest and that we or our friends have enjoyed them. Feedback is encouraged, as there is only so much one person can eat and photograph in a lifetime - email afletch at paradoxplace dot com
