found this cardboard-covered cookbook at the brocki yesterday. It was written by a noted Italian food historian, Luigi Sada, sometime in the 1800's (this book looks to be a recent reprint). it covers the food of Puglia, and has a number of eccentricities. My favourite recipe so far is "vermicelli in a sauce of fish that swam away' (vermicelli with a sauce made of stones and seaweed!)

"The fish that swam away..."
Beautiful - I love it.
I write for a seafood blog - would you mind if I linked to this story?
