Outstanding overview of the wines and food of Campania and the South. Easily one of the best cookbooks I've come accross in the last few years. If you are interested in making Neapolitan style pizza, true Southern pastas and getting to the heart of "cucina povera", this book is where it's at.

A very thick cookbook that for the first section reads like a textbook of Italian wines. Their pizza dough recipe is my absolute favorite and easy enough to make at home, and the meatballs are really good, but some other recipes seem a bit too complicated for the casual cook.

A16 is an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. A16 refers to a highway exit sign in the southern region of Italy. I checked out the book so I could see if I wanted to eat there the next time I visit SF. Yes, I want to eat there!

I was disappointed by this book. It's beautiful but that's about it.

As someone who's more interested in cooking than wine I think the food should have been in the first part of the book.
I haven't made anything from this book but it's only a matter of time. The recipes and ingredients were making my mouth water. Also for the most part the ingredients list was short and accessible. For the more exotic ingredients sources were provided.
Beautiful photography too.

i will always be "reading" this book because it is an amazing cookbook and one of my favorite italian cookbooks. it probably helps that i've eaten at A16 quite a few times, and now that i am no longer in SF, i can recreate a little of it in my new home.

Meh. Beautiful pictures, nicely written, but nothing I have to go make right this second.
