Ian Hall, Gordon Brown, ...

Taming the Truffle

Ten Speed Press, 2007

No, not THAT kind of truffles...

Super candy book for everyone.

Chocolate, Truffles, and Other Treasures of Italy's Piedmont Cuisine

Sally Spector

Piazza, 2007

More than just chocolate and truffles
This title is a trifle silly. Certainly there is some soft alliteration, so we forgive it and move on. This nicely done book is about one of the less popular regions, Piedmont. We have a name-sake region in the U.S. that lies across Pennsylvania, North Carolina and ...
