Then there is \u003ci\u003eacquacotta\u003c\/i\u003e, a rustic soup that nourished generations of the area's shepherds and cowhands. In the town of Camerano, an eighty-year-old woman reveals the art of hand-rolling pasta with a three-foot rolling pin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Underpinning Lust's travels is our journey from chef to cook, mirroring the fact that Italians have been masters of home cooking for generations, so they are an obvious source of inspiration.
