I know there are companies making cheaper versions for supermarkets and they export, just not yest to the English speaking world. <br />Scotti, the famous Italian rice marketer, also has a pasta that comes close to appearing like the real thing, but again, I don't know where they sell it.Joshuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-20213453964683053192010-05-22T11:20:44.145+02:002010-05-22T11:20:44.145+02:00As one of the few Americans living in L'Aquila...As one of the few Americans living in L'Aquila during the Earthquake I was very pleased to find the book and honored to be able to meet the Author/Creator of this wonderful book up in Santo Stefano. The evening was wonderful - Officina Musicale had organized a wonderful concert and prose reading and Sextantio put on an amazing dinner based on a local, edible "weed" I had never heard of before even after 10 years of living only a few kilometers awy. <br />Thanks to all of you for keeping L'Aquila in your minds, especially Eleonora.Joshua Lawrencehttp://carbonara.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-85124809142212766982010-05-15T23:45:57.200+02:002010-05-15T23:45:57.200+02:00Anything for Abruzzo, but I am afraid I have arriv...Anything for Abruzzo, but I am afraid I have arrived late.

Such brave people, what a horrendous thing to happen.<br /><br />My question is regarding pasta, rather than bread. I can't eat anything with wheat in it, is there any pasta over here that I can eat? I know that some places do sell wheat-free pasta, but I highly suspicious and would like an expert's opinion!

I would love to buy a copy and support the cause. However I have just looked at purchasing a copy and with the cost of the book and the postage from the USA I am afraid it is just not feasible for me to do so at the moment! 34 Euros in all and a high proportion of that is the postage. I will have to wait I think until we can buy it in Italy.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-10124302858444570472010-05-07T06:29:36.687+02:002010-05-07T06:29:36.687+02:00what a lovely thing to do, you are such a sweethea...what a lovely thing to do, you are such a sweetheart. the book looks great! <br />now i'm wondering when we will have the chance to buy yours also??<br /><br />♥ loriLori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-50803539946709499542010-05-07T06:05:50.546+02:002010-05-07T06:05:50.546+02:00it's on my list too.
