📝 Description: Chewing the Fat: An Oral History of Italian Foodways from Fascism to Dolce Vita

"A compendium of eighteen oral historical narratives from women who lived through the sparse and dangerous years of Italian fascism. daily life, family, culture, and recipes blend into a fascinating accounting of these women's early lives. Each narrative is separated by a brief intermezzo, illuminating points of cultural historical, and culinary interest to round out the overall mosaic effect. Gently debunking much-loved myths of classic Itallian fare, Moyer-Nocchi offers a fresh, realistic portrayal of traditional Italian food--not as we think of it but as it really existed" --
