BTW, did you know that Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites?
Italy is home to 50 sites, followed by China (47), Spain (44), Germany (39), France (39), India (32) and Mexico (32). (As of 2014, 1007 sites are listed: 779 cultural, 197 natural, and 31 mixed properties, in 161 states parties, here's a list of all sites worldwide:

Italy would absolutely be my #1 recommendation for a visit to Europe!

I would like to share one intriguing piece of information from the book ...

Although I'm not interested in cookbooks your review made me curious. I assume it's this book:

Since 55 recipes (I acceptably cook without) nevertheless will most likely deter me from purchasing it, please - could share one more intriguing piece of information from the book?!? Could you please share the solution to the riddle "what type of barbecue could be served to thousands at political rallies when paper plates and napkins didn't exist" (see "About this item")? I would love to learn this!!! The item description also mentions strawberry ice cream, and I recall reading that A. L. often bought ice cream for the kids. I've always wanted to learn how ice was frozen in those days without electricity - I have no idea! Is this riddle perhaps solved in that book, too? Or does anyone happen to know?
