Great list. Yes! The way Italian food is portrayed in non Italian cinema is an interesting notion. Recently I attended a lecture about food as politics in the Montalbano series and it was a fun eye opener because Inspector Montalbano is very Sicilian and so is the food he eats. His girlfriend, from the north, is depicted as a terrible cook, not necessarily because she can't cook, but because she cooks food from the north which, to a Sicilian, is not worth wasting calories on, lol!

Giulia, you are so generous and positive. If I ever make a visit to Italy again, it will be because of your appreciation of your own country.

I will miss the cookalong again - so sad but will have family here for fun times in the pool! Hoping I can make the one you have in June! I subscribed to Cherry Bombe Radio - love it! Thanks for all the links and recommendations. xoxo Lisa
