The recipes in this book tend to be more "down-to-earth" recipes than the recipes in the previous book that I posted with recipes.
There are certainly (many) recipes in this book, but there is also quite a bit of "shooting the breeze" by the authors. I could do without that, personally; just give me the recipes.

Book Description
Following the success of their 2010 James Beard Foundation Best Cookbook of the Year, The Country Cooking of Ireland
, Colman Andrews and Christopher Hirsheimer achieve the formidable feat of illuminating the world's most beloved cuisine in an entirely new light. Drawing on more than 40 years of experience traveling and eating in Italy, Andrews explores every region, from Piedmont to Puglia, and provides the fascinating origins of dishes both familiar and unexpected. This gloriously photographed keepsake depicts an ingredient-focused culture deeply rooted in rural traditions, in which even the most sophisticated dishes derive from more basic fare. With 230 sumptuous recipes highlighting the abundant flavors of the land, all set against the backdrop of Andrews' vivid storytelling and Hirsheimer's evocative images, this luxe book is sure to delight home chefs and lovers of Italian food alike.
