Description

BaroloAfter a childhood of microwaved meat and saturated fat, Matthew Gavin Frank got serious about food. His "research" ultimately led him to Barolo, Italy (pop. 646), where, living out of a tent in the garden of a local farmhouse, he resolved to learn about Italian food from the ground up. Barolo is Frank's account of those six months. At once an intimate travelogue and a memoir of a culinary education, the book details the adventures of a not so innocent

After a childhood of microwaved meat and saturated fat, Matthew Gavin Frank got serious about food. His "research" ultimately led him to Barolo, Italy (pop. 646), where, living out of a tent in the garden of a local farmhouse, he resolved to learn about Italian food from the ground up. Barolo is Frank's account of those six months. At once an intimate travelogue and a memoir of a culinary education, the book details the adventures of a not-so-innocent abroad in Barolo, a region known for its food and wine (also called Barolo). Upon arrival, Frank began picking wine grapes for famed vintner Luciano Sandrone. He tells how, between lessons in the art of the grape harvest, he discovered, explored, and savored the gustatory riches of Piemontese Italy. Along the way we meet the region's families and the many eccentric vintners, butchers, bakers, and restaurateurs who call Barolo home. Rich with details of real Italian small-town life, local foodstuffs, strange markets, and a circuslike atmosphere, Frank's story also offers a wealth of historical and culinary information, moments of flamboyance, and musings on foreign travel (and its many alien seductions), all filtered through food and wine.

Streak free and quick drying. Big and pricy but worth it.
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Great for drying off your car especially in places where the water pools. Streak free and covers a lot of area. It’s big and versatile- it would work as a pet drying towel too. Soft and good quality. Great gift for a car buff. Not cheap but man does it cut down on drying time.

Great size, super soft, and extremely efficient.
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Love this drying towel. It’s super soft, super efficient and cuts my dry time in half. The size is perfect for my car as it covers most of my roof making it really easy and quick to dry the whole car. It’s also super absorbent and definitely worth every penny.
