About the book: 2021 / Italy is a country with a rich history, amazing cuisine and hospitable people who have carefully preserved their traditions for centuries and customs, be it a family pasta recipe or a seasonal truffle “hunt” in oak groves. In her new book, Yulia Evdokimova invites us to visit the regions of Italy - Marche, framed on one side by the Apennine Mountains, and on the other washed by the Adriatic Sea, as well as Piedmont, Umbria and the author’s favorite Tuscany. Amazing places hidden from the tourist eyes, with a sea coast, mountains and waterfalls, lakes and rivers, medieval borgos creeping up the hills, bustling markets, wonderful cuisine and the most amazing edible treasure in the world - the white truffle.
