Library Journal
La Place is the author of Verdura (LJ 3/15/91), a lovely book on Italian vegetables, and coauthor with Evan Kleiman of several Italian-inspired cookbooks, including Cucina Rustica (LJ 3/15/90). Here she offers a fun, appealing, and mouth-watering collection of sandwiches and both simple and elegant bruschetta and crostini, the Italian open-faced toasts and canaps. A nice companion to Carol Field's book on merende (``snacks''), Italy in Small Bites (LJ 9/15/93), this is recommended for most collections. [BOMC HomeStyle alternate.]
