"Italian immigrant, university professor, and bon vivant, Angelo Pellegrini provides an utterly charming exposition on the role of food, wine, and family in his 1948 classic, The Unprejudiced Palate. Born in a tiny hill town in Tuscany, Pellegrini believed that living richly meant cooking fresh, well-prepared food, growing your own vegetables, and plying dinner guests with glasses of homemade wine. Part memoir, part cookbook, the book is sprinkled with traditional Tuscan recipes and philosophical musings on food, seasoned with wit and unique tenderness. Pellegrini's thirst for the good life and his unfettered culinary instincts ultimately remind us that the quality of life starts with the food that nourishes the body and soul.
