Arezzo: Life and Culinary History in an Ancient Tuscan

Question

Arezzo: Life and Culinary History in an Ancient Tuscan City Product Description 'One day, while walking down Arezzo's ancient Via Madonna del Prato, I noticed a small antique shop - the window was full of pretty oddments, china, Venetian glass, small pieces of silver. Inside, the fifteenth century vaulted room was lined with book shelves. I asked the owner if he had any cookery books for sale. He showed me a copy of the 5th edition of La Scienza in Cucina e L Arte di Mangiar Bene by Pellegrino Artusi (Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well). Between the Index and the back cover lay a bundle of papers covered in copperplate handwriting; recipes which had been collected by the book's original owner, a woman called Beppina. Here, was a microcosm of the culinary taste of the Aretine upper middle-class during the Belle Époque. Beppina's recipes form a vital link in the ancient chain of Aretine culinary history and they inspired me to write this book.' So begins Elizabeth Romer's exploration of the culinary traditions of the beautiful, Tuscan city of Arezzo, stretching from Etruscan and Roman times right up to the markets, gardens and kitchens of the present day. Here, you will find beloved recipes and opinions about food that strongly express the character of Arezzo's citizens, past and present. In the 1500s, the famed Pietro Aretino exalted simple food, and today, dishes made with fresh, local ingredients prepared in that same manner are still essential to the Aretine way of life.
