First printing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSituated in the fertile Po river valley, Parma historically found itself at the center of many trade routes, making it a thriving trade center. Though absorbing the influences of shifting empires and the merchants passing through, the city maintained a distinct culinary identity, which the folks at Academia Barilla (yes, the pasta brand) felt was important enough to be documented in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the branded partnership, Parma is not written to sell a product and does not name drop or put undue focus on pasta dishes. Rather, it is as thoughtful and intentional as Bugialli’s other regional books, maintaining the depth and rigor we’d come to expect and fitting in nicely to his complete oeuvre. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few tempting offerings:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParpadelle with duck and porcini sauce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripe simmered in a brothy tomato sauce, topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLemon-marinated trout baked in parchment with butter and rosemary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDessert potato bodino, flavored with almonds, rum, and candied orange peel and served with zabaione\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOurs is a Near Fine \u003cstrong\u003efirst printing\u003c\/strong\u003e with light shelfwear and rounding about the corners.
