Joining in, as part of my desire to expand my blogging from just reviews…

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should be Reading:

• Grab your current read.
• Let the book fall open to a random page.
• Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
• You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
• Please avoid spoilers!

The book is A Year in the World, by Frances Mayes, which I’m reading for my challenge.

From p. 158; she’s talking about Italian food:

As you hop about in Italy, the variety from place to place is absolutely astonishing, especially given that most food springs from la cucina povera — the poor kitchen, the made-do kitchen. Wild greens, nuts, fish, game, fruit — all things free for the gathering — appear in every area but in different guises.

Makes me hungry. 🙂
