Italy for Food Lovers

I wasn't sure if I was going to review Rick Steves Italy for Food Lovers, a book co-written by travel guru, Rick Steves, and Fred Plotkin. Then figured, why not? My mouth was watering as I was reading.

I do recommend this travel guide with a sole focus on good eating in Italy for anyone who is planning a trip to Italy and wants to map out a food plan. While reading, I made note of what foods  are the specialities in each area we will be visiting as well as foods that might be in season while we're there. In a few cases, I also jotted down some of the restaurants they recommended. I'm carefully going through my notes and adding much of the information to the journal I am preparing for the trip.

I also paid attention to Italian words and phrases that will help me better understand menus and be able to order in Italian.

Counting down the days until our trip. Mangiamo!
