Eating Up Italy by Matthew Fort
In an epic scooter trip from the Ionian Sea to the foot of the Alps, food writer Matthew Fort explores the local gastronomy and culinary culture of a country where regional differences are still vibrantly alive.
'The most intensely greedy, fragrant and sensuously written travelogue I have ever read' Nigel Slater 'A beautifully written, humorous account of a talented food writer controlling what seems to be a midlife crisis by travelling around Italy on a Vespa.' Jamie Oliver 'Elizabeth David meets Jack Kerouac -- around the table and on the road, this is a brilliant insight into Italian gastro-culture.' Giorgio Locatelli
Matthew Fort has nursed a passion for the whole of Italy and its foods since his first visit at the age of eleven. Whilst pursuing a career in advertising he started writing about food in the Financial Times and eventually became Food & Drink editor of the Guardian in 1989. As well as continuing to hold that post, he writes for Esquire, the Observer, Country Living, Decanter and Food Illustrated.
