The Best Italian Cook Book?

Which is the best authentic Italian cook book? This is a question I am asked often. I have lived in Italy for ten years and many of my family and friends in the USA, Australia and the UK ask me for advice as to which Italian cookbooks give you a real "taste" of Italy.

English language "Italian cookbooks" are everywhere but in my opinion very few have much in common with genuine authentic Italian cuisine. My wife, who is Italian and an excellent chef, is in full agreement.

There are some notable exceptions however and I hope to be able to present these in a short series of articles. The books I have selected fall into four categories. The first category is devoted to those books that give an overview of Italian cooking and feature recipes from all the regions of Italy. The other three categories focus on some of the lesser known but exceptional gourmet regions of Italy.
