[Sca-cooks] Re: Recipes from the Puglia region of Italy?

[Louise Smithson]

Ignia, 
As far as a distinctive regional cuisine you almost
have to wait till the cookbooks of the 18 and 1900s to
find that.  The period cookbooks are very similar
across regions of Italy and in fact Europe.  However
there are a couple of period Italian books out there
which were written in Southern Italy.  These include

Title: The Neapolitan recipe collection : 
(New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, MS Bühler, 19) : a
critical edition and English translation / 
Author(s): Scully, Terence,; 1935- 
Corp Author(s): Pierpont Morgan Library. 
Publication: Ann Arbor, Mich. : University of Michigan
Press, 
Year: 2000 
Description: vi, 256 p. ; 26 cm. 
Language: English 
Standard No: ISBN: 0472109723 (cloth : alk. paper);
National Library: 000100366; LCCN: 98-51414 
A good English translation, the original is given
(although not on the same page) along with a scholarly
discussion of the recipes and language style.  The
relationship of this manuscript to other “Martino”
manuscripts is given, along with a fairly
comprehensive bibliography.  This version of the
Martino cookbook is thought to be earlier than Libro
d’arte coquinario. 
This can be bought from Poison Pen Press.

If you want modern dishes try googling "puglia
recipes"
there are plenty of Italian sites.
