Katherine Wilson Knihy

Humorná a emotivní kniha mladé Američanky o tom, jak správně žít a vařit po italsku. Katherine přijede do Itálie na stáž a seznámí se s božským Italem, který ji však namísto očekávané první schůzky v kavárně vezme na večeři k rodičům. Katherine a Salvator spolu začnou chodit,ale začátky v cizí zemi nejsou pro Katherine vůbec jednoduché. Naštěstí se jí ujme Salvatorova elegantní matka Raffaella, zděšená jejím životním stylem i kulinářskými schopnostmi, a pomůže jí včlenit se do italské společnosti. Kromě rad a tipů, jak zdůraznit své ženství, ji naučí i vařit – zdravě a s důrazem na kvalitu – a zasvětí ji do tajů italských tradic a kultury. Mezitím Katherine zažívá spoustu příhod – omylem se nachomýtá k dabování lechtivých filmů, učí se vařit chobotnici a nestačí odhánět italské nápadníky. V Itálii je jídlo vedle rodiny tím nejdůležitějším, proto jsou Katherininy příhody doprovázeny recepty, nad kterými se vám budou dozajista sbíhat chutě. A díky podrobnému popisu si je můžete i samy vyzkoušet. 2. vydání

Arriving in Naples as a naive young intern at the American Consulate, Katherine is set up on a blind date - at least that's what she's expecting. Instead, Salvatore brings her home to eat pizza with his family. But this is no ordinary pizza, and the woman who makes it is no ordinary woman. Katherine and Salve do end up dating - and marrying - but it's Salvatore's mother who truly initiates Katherine into Italian society, offering her a culinary and cultural education that marks the beginning of her womanhood. Along the way, Katherine dabbles in dubbing porn, learns to cook an octopus, and fends off frisky Italian suitors. Most importantly, she acquires carnale, the quintessentially Neapolitan sense of living with comfort and confidence in one's body. Only in Naples recalls the rich and wry culinary writing of Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking and the charmingly eccentric family portraits of Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened.

With the help of University of Oregon professors, as well as professors from CU Boulder and University of Cincinnati, this book ties together the author's personal experiences and interviews of members of the New Hollywood and those that influenced them, such as the Merry Pranksters and their film crew, Poetic Cinema Filmmakers, still living members of the Beat Generation, and through academic articles and books, from Plato to Yeats and the time's literary theory deconstructionists, answers the question of what created them.

Ihr erstes Date in Neapel hat sich die junge Amerikanerin Katherine Wilson anders vorgestellt. Statt in ein lauschiges Restaurant fährt Salvatore sie nach Hause zu seiner Mamma. Diese steht elegant gestylt und gut gelaunt am Herd und kocht für die Famiglia. Für Salvatore. Für die Schwester mit den unglaublich blauen Augen. Und für den Vater, der nichts mehr genießt als gutes Essen. Und kaum nimmt Katherine den ersten Bissen, da fühlt sie, dass sie angekommen ist bei sich und im Herzen von Salvatores Großfamilie. Erst pasta al dente dann l’amore.

"Smart, relevant and witty. Part page-turning narrative, part provocative argument, this is cultural criticism at its best." - Jeff Sparrow At a time when the labour market is failing as a source of security and identity for many, domestic tinkering is emerging as a legitimate vocation, in ways we haven't seen since pre-industrial times. Practices of repair, crafting, invention, building and improvising that take place in Australia's sheds, backyards, paddocks, kitchens and home-workshops are becoming a vital part of our informal economy and social cohesion, complicating distinctions between work and leisure, amateur and professional, production and consumption. Building on the work of historians, sociologists, psychologists and economists, but with a journalist's impulse for the currency of her story, Katherine Wilson documents domestic tinkering as an undervalued form of material scholarship, social connection, psychological sanctuary and political activism. Equal parts field guide and love letter, Tinkering: Australians Reinvent DIY Culture mounts a surprising case for the profound value of domestic tinkering in contemporary Australia.

'See Naples and die', said Goethe. But Katherine Wilson saw Naples and started to live. Katherine is fresh out of college when she arrives in Naples to intern at the US Consulate. There she meets handsome, studious Salvatore, and finds herself enveloped by his family - in particular by his elegant mother, Raffaella, who begins her real education: never eat the crust of a pizza first, always stand up and fight for yourself and your loved ones, and remember that mealtimes are sacred. Immersed in Neapolitan culture, tradition and cooking, slowly and unexpectedly falling for Salvatore, and basking in Raffaella's company and guidance, Katherine discovers how to prepare meals that sing, from rich ragu to pasta al forno, with bacon, bechamel and four kinds of cheese. Through courtship, culture clashes, Sunday Mass, marriage and motherhood, Katherine slowly comes to appreciate carnale, the quintessentially Neapolitan sense of comfort and confidence in one's own skin. Steeped in sunlight, wine and unforgettable food, Only in Naples is a love letter to a city and a family, a coming-of-age story, and a transporting account of learning to live the Italian way. 'Katherine Wilson gives us more than the fabulous food of Naples. She offers us a passport to an exotic country we would never be able to enter on our own.' Ruth Reichl, author of My Kitchen Year
