Italian Snacking by Anna Francese Gass
Anna Gass grew up in the US, but her family was from Italy so they often went back to see family. Gass grew up eating mostly Italian food because that was what her mother knew how to cook and then when they were in Italy that's obviously what they ate there. She remembers her grandmother baking snacks for them in an outdoor brick oven and that was what inspired her to seek out all the various Italian snacks and recreate the recipes. In the Introduction she talks about what are Italian snacks or Spuntini, then she describes the various regions of Italy and what each is known for. Then the recipes are divided into 4 categories - midmorning snacks, afternoon treats, evening appetizers, and street food. There are several recipes that I'd like to try and a wide variety of sweet and savory snacks.
