Truffle Tales of Italy. A Journey for New Stories and Dishes

Italy is a country with a rich history, amazing cuisine, and hospitable people who for centuries have carefully preserved their traditions and customs—whether it’s a family pasta recipe or the seasonal “truffle hunt” in oak groves. In her new book, Yulia Evdokimova invites us to visit the regions of Italy—Marche, on the one hand framed by the Apennines, and on the other washed by the Adriatic Sea, as well as Piedmont, Umbria, and the author’s beloved Tuscany. Amazing places hidden from tourists’ eyes, with coastlines, mountains, and waterfalls, lakes and rivers, medieval borgos crawling up the hills, bustling markets, wonderful cuisine, and the most surprising edible treasure in the world—the white truffle.
