Gastronomia italiana este renumita nu doar pentru produsele sale caracteristice (paste, legume, risotto, pizza, supe crema etc.), ci, mai ales, pentru savoarea si rafinamentul preparatelor care folosesc in mare parte numai ingrediente naturale. Retetele sunt prezentate de la aperitive, trecand prin felul intai si felul principal, pentru a ajunge apoi la salate, legume si deserturi.
James Alfred "Alf" Wight, OBE, FRCVS (3 October 1916 – 23 February 1995), known by the pen name James Herriot, was a British veterinary surgeon and writer, who used his many years of experiences as a veterinary surgeon to write a series of books each consisting of stories about animals and their owners.[1] He is best known for these semi-autobiographical works, beginning with All Creatures Great and Small in 1972. The British television series adapted from the books is also titled All Creatures Great and Small.
