angelo pelligini - lean years, happy years
« on: May 17, 2014, 09:00:40 PM »
The wikipedia entry gives him probable credit for the first publication of a pesto recipe in the US but that doesn't do justice to the books.  Unprejudiced Palate is still big with foodies but I prefer Lean Years, Happy Years.  It pretty well sums up his ethos and the book itself is largely a reflection on the rewards of purposeful work ethic in the garden and home.  Although he did offer a few anti-technology rants I think this community would enjoy most of his books and I'm sort of surprised no one has a thread for this guy already.
