Now if you are a cookbook collector such as I am, you will love the following list of cookbooks that I have scoured the Internet to share with you.
Each of these has one solid focus: Garden-to-table cooking and lifestyle! Some of them also have a big focus on Italian gardening and cooking. All of them are fabulous. Just one click on each photo takes you to a variety of prices to choose from.
And yes, I endorse these cookbooks and have them in my own personal library.
ENJOY!
Roz, how I dream of going to a market in Italy! It’s such a wonderful time of the year with all of the fresh produce. Your recipes for each fruit/vegetable are so tempting. I’ll have to check out the garden to table to cookbooks. I notice many are from Italy. We could definitely learn a thing or two about the pleasures of eating!
Kelly,
Like you, I dream of returning to Italy to visit the amazing food markets. The passion for fresh, high quality fruits and veggies in Italy is intense. The presentation of each vendor’s produce is almost a work of art themselves. I love all of the ‘garden to table’ and/or ‘farm to table’ cookbooks. In fact, you’ve just inspired me for my evening’s reading! And yes, we do need to learn to eat ore like Italians, savoring instead of rushing through our meals. You’ve got that right, my friend!
Ciao,
Roz

Is the first market photo in Italy taken in late summer or early Autumn? Because I see many Autumn fruits there 🙂 Marrone…can’t wait for the season arrive here!
Hi Angie,
You are so alert! This photo was taken in October when I last visited. I simply wanted to show a photo of fresh veggies and fruit, and didn’t realize the chestnuts were in the front of the photo!
Thanks!
Ciao,
Roz
