About this ebook
NYT-bestselling author Laura Fraser journeys from the SpaghettiOs of her American childhood to savor the best of Italian cuisine and the culture that cooked it up. Using the same dreamy, delicious prose that made An Italian Affair a best-selling memoir, these essays will delight readers who loved that book, and all who love Italian food and culture. Sumptuous descriptions of Italian meals—and the passion that goes into them—make this e-book a mouthwatering, uplifting pleasure. In “Italy in 17 Courses,” Fraser uses the pace and order of the dishes in a wedding feast to muse on her own introduction to Italian food, and how it changed her from a diet-obsessed vegetarian to a pasta and pancetta connoisseur. “An Affair to Remember” explores themes of food and nostalgia, and how a good meal can lift the spirit. In “The Risotto Guru,” Fraser writes a funny spoof of New Age gurus as she searches to perfect her own risotto. Warning: Do not read on an empty stomach.

Laura Fraser, cofounder and editorial director, is the New York Times–best-selling author of the memoirs An Italian Affair and All Over the Map, as well as Losing It, an exposé of the diet industry. A longtime journalist and award-winning essayist, she has written for every magazine Northrop has edited and more. She has taught writing at numerous venues, from fancy universities to her own Mexican Writing Fiesta.

She is the author of the Shebooks travel memoir The Risotto Guru.
