An authentic culinary journey--part memoir, part cookbook--introducing readers to the people, places, and food of Umbria

Veteran food critic Suzanne Carriero spent a year and a half in Umbria, and this is her intimate look at its ancient recipes, traditions, and the people who pass them on. Each of the book's eight chapters features local cooks, as their personal stories are as much a part of the cuisine's essence as are the crops they grow and the family dishes they prepare.

Anecdotes, sidebars, and boxes are used throughout the book to further illustrate Umbrian life--from buying a rabbit in the country, to making torta di Pasqua for Easter, to reading the Italian wine label, and drinking cappuccino after lunch (a serious breach in tradition). With a food and wine glossary included as a reference for travelers, The Dog Who Ate the Truffle immerses the reader in the people, cuisine, and lifestyle that few are privileged to experience. Suzanne's colorful stories and authentic classic recipes make for an intimate and illustrious travel cookbook.

Good but slides off pillow
Color: Gray, Size: Standard(Pack of 2)
Ok these are actually cooling and a decent material but they keep sleeping off my pillows and it’s so frustrating. I don’t know if it’s because my pillows and gel memory foam but I cannot keep them on for anything. Because of the price I’m going to keep them just wish they would stay on.

Soft material and feels cool for a few minutes
Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: Gray, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillow cases are extremely soft and smooth to the touch, which feels amazing, but at the same time they do feel slippery especially when the pillows are stacked on top of one another. I noticed that when I used these pillow cases along with another set of pillows with a different material, that they would easily slide around as well. The quality of the pillowcases feel durable even though it may feel soft. I like the light grey color that I chose and since it's a queen sized pillowcase, the memory foam pillows that I have were able to fit easily. The cooling feature on the material of these pillow cases feels really nice and makes a noticeable difference especially when the weather is starting to get warmer. Although the material will start to feel warm on contact on one side after a few minutes, it will still feel cool once I flip my pillow to the other side. Overall, I like the quality of the material since it feels soft, but for $15 it might seem overpriced.

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.
