Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The authors, a married couple, own an acclaimed restaurant in Vermont.This book is a compilation of stories and recipes from their travels in Italy.The book is laid out according to the seasons, which I loved. Each section is full of recipes that use the produce that's in season. And there are a lot of recipes in here, around 30 for each season.
The recipes vary from very simple, such as Green Beans in Olive Oil and Lemon to more complicated like Squash Ravioli. But none of them look overly difficult and the explanations are all well done and easy to understand.
Each seasonal section includes meals laid out as Italian meals are served, Antipasti (appetizers), Primi (first Course), Secondi (second course), Cortorni (third course!:)and Dolci (the desert course). There's also a separate section at the end with lovely bread recipes.
A wonderful book that I look forward to cooking from for many years to come.

Product Description:
More than a cookbook, In Late Winter We Ate Pears is a love affair with a culture and a way of life. In vignettes taken from their year in Italy, husband and wife Caleb Barber and Deirdre Heekin offer glimpses of a young, vibrant Italy: of rolling out pizza dough in an ancient hilltown at midnight while wild dogs bay in the abandoned streets; of the fogged car windows of an ancient lovers' lane amid the olive groves outside Prato.
The recipes in In Late Winter We Ate Pears are every bit as delicious as the memories. Selections such as red snapper with fennel sauce, fresh figs with balsamic vinegar and mint, and frangipane and plum tart capture the essence of Italy. Following the tradition of Italian cuisine, the 80 recipes are laid out according to season, to suggest taking advantage of your freshest local ingredients.
Whether you are an experienced cook looking for authentic Italian recipes or a beginner wanting to immerse yourself in the romance of a young couple's culinary adventure, In Late Winter We Ate Pears provides rich sustenance in the best tradition of travel and food writing.
Cheers to Chef Barber and writer Deirdre Heekin for sharing these marvelous recipes from Osteria Pane e Salute (Pane translates as bread and Salute as health) and for sharing the story of a most inspired year spent in Italy. In Late Winter We Ate Pears is a testament that bread and health are the things that make a good life.
