The Canal House Cooking seasonal cookbook series is home cooking by home cooks for home cooks. Volume No. 7, La Dolce Vita, celebrates the bounty of fall and the festive holiday season with delicious Italian recipes, some classic, some reinterpreted Canal House style, for the American home cook."Great visual writing. And the pictures! Christopher Hirsheimer has long been the gold standard of food photography, but in this book she goes beyond what I thought possible--these pictures aren't food porn, they're art... You don't need an addiction to real Italian cooking to lose yourself in these pages. You can read it as a travel book. As an adventure story. As a sensual experience that yields deep pleasure for the authors--and the reader." --Jesse Kornbluth, Head Butler
