THE FOOD OF ITALY AND HOW TO PREPARE IT

Mr. Knopf is responsible for the entertaining and very personal and anec- otal pieces about Italy and Italians, what to ask for and how to ask for it, what to expect and where, tips on pastas, on cooking and serving and eating, on preparation, on hotels and restaurants and service, on Italy north and Italy south and so on and so on -- and covering some 3000 gastronomic miles. Then he turns it over to Mrs. Knopf for the recipes and a succulent lot they are. Those familiar with the earlier Perfect Hostess Cook Book and Cook, My Darling Daughter will know that the inclusions are unusual, practical in arrangement of ingredients and techniques, and geared to the hostess with gourmet interests.
