Title: Primi, Secondi, Mindless Pap
Product review: This memoir reflects upon a wondrous journey to a fertile and passionate place, a place which oozes life well-lived, Tuscany. Unfortunately, the journey was taken and commented upon by the puddle-deep Ms. Mayes, a pompous, self-absorbed West Coast pseudo-intellectual who is quite impressed with herself, thank you very much. Her mindless quasi-philosophical musings irritate more than enlighten. Her distant, almost clinical analysis of the lovable and idiosyncratic people around her in Italy infuriates, and confirms, again, that she is missing the point by a mile. This is a woman who doesn't know where she is from: Georgia, Italy or San Fran. As she writes, she tries to find balance between the three and sell its reasonableness. She fails. Her truth is not to be found in Italy. That said, the recipes are good.
