Saw this at my local fleapit this evening.  Specially recommended to those of us not in Italy - it conjures up the  �������� way of talking about and preparing food - I could almost taste the sparkling wine they were drinking.  This is a good precis:"Di Gregario has, in a light-hearted but not silly or condescending way, combined in this short gem two bases of �������� society: the filial devotion of sons for their mothers (we are not told what the daughters-in-law think), and the unending quest to eat well – even when sharpers make the most of their mid-August monopoly on the wine supply"Hardly action-packed, but it's still with me several hours later
