Absolutely loved this! Elisabeth definitely has a new fan. Never having heard of her before I really didn't know what to expect, but was attracted to this book because of my upcoming trip to Italy. It was the perfect pre-trip read and had great tips. I'm buying the rest of her books!

This is the perfect guide for anyone interested in Italian cuisine! Chock full of insightful stories, recipes, and restaurants to try. I learned so much about so many things, such as balsalmic vinegar, truffles, pasta, and on and on. The stories are wonderful and engaging. I cannot wait to return to Italy and explore some of the restaurants the author recommends!

This book has convinced me that I have to visit Italy soon. Now, instead of just picking places in Italy to visit based on tourist-type attractions like art and architecture, I will have to visit regions to try the food, too!

Minchilli has given me some great advice via her app. I’ve happily eaten my way around Rome and Florence with her suggestions. So I was particularly happy to receive an ARC of “Eating My Way Through Italy”. With all of the brio of her website and app recommendations, she takes us on an extended tour of “The Boot”, with stops in many of the lesser travelled locales. I’m super-excited to travel with her book in hand next summer, and enjoy the delights of “eating around Italy."

I happily dug into an early copy of Minchilli's latest (thanks to NetGalley!) to immerse myself in the land that I love, Italia. She's no stranger to the culinary landscape of Rome, but this time she sets out to other environs and digs into the food culture of cities such as Venice, Bari, Naples and Milan. She has a fantastic way of diving into the culture of each area and making you desperately hungry for its cuisine. I am already wishing for a follow-up book, exploring even more of Italy. Her recommendations look spot on and I can't wait to find out for myself when I return to la bella paese.

This is the book any food lover must take with them to Italy. Full of interesting facts and must places to visit and eat, eat, eat. I have already changed my super fast standby tuna pasta recipe to include olives and capers. It now tastes even better. Many thanks Elizabeth and publisher for the preview. I shall be trying out the other recipes too.
