The Versailles Settlement does not enjoy a good reputation: despite its lofty aim to settle the world`s affairs at a stroke, it is widely considered to have set the world on the path to a second major conflict within a generation. Woodrow Wilson`s controversial principle of self-determination amplified political complexities in the Balkans, & the war & its settlement bear significant responsibility for boundaries & related conflicts in the Middle East. Furthermore, other objectives of the peacemakers, such as global disarmament & minority protection, are yet to be realised. A century on, the settlement still casts a long shadow. This book, fully revised & updated with new material for the centenary of the Paris Paris Conferences at Versailles in 1919 sets the consequences
- for good or ill
- of the Peace Treaties into their longer term context & argues that the responsibility for Europe`s continuing interwar instability cannot be wholly attributed to the peacemakers of 1919-23.

` Throughout Versatile, traditional recipes are presented with optional ingredients to be added or removed according to the various palates & tastes of family & friends, an approach that reflects the heart of Italian cuisine...it is this book`s legacy of recipes that most evocatively encapsulates the Italian philosophy of food as nourishment for both body & the spirit.` Grazia Giuliani In Italy, one cooks a family meal & everyone in the family eats that meal. Variations to the original recipe may be added or taken away
- cheese, pepper, spices, herbs are optional
- but the basic ingredients & the way of preparing the meal are the same for everyone, young & old. With chapters dedicated to the journeys that have been experienced by her family, ` Versatile` captures the discovery of seasonal variety, & the colours & scents of dishes that they enjoyed together. Italian cuisine is regional rather than national & often there are several interpretations of a single recipe, each developed according to local traditions & the availability of regional ingredients. In Italy, everybody has always something to say or to add! Throughout the book, the theme of versatility is further enhanced when a family adopt a recipe, they take the destiny of a recipe into their own hands, shaping & serving yet more versions of a classic dish across the generations. ` Versatile: Cooking & Living Italian` features the journey of a Mother, eating & cooking throughout her lifetime. The recipes in this book are ones that Grazia Giuliani has been enjoying & cooking since she was a child, she has grown up with these herself, held onto them throughout her childhood & has now given, as a gift, to her own Bambini. Growing up with homemade jams, preserves, pickles, fresh pasta & cakes, as well as shopping at local markets & handling fruit & vegetables, learning about which to choose, looking at their colour, feeling their consistency, smelling their scent, are all part of a knowledge that Grazia gradually picked up by doing the same things with her mother. It was family time that would develop into them enjoying cooking together & culminated a meal eaten together. This book is her way of suggesting that creating awareness in children about what they put in their mouths could be the start of a more adventurous &, in the future, educated palate. As well as simple recipes that children can prepare for the family, the book features an entire chapter dedicated to the many celebrated special occasions that see Italians gather around large tables with family & friends. Le Feste (special occasions) are another wonderful `excuse` to rejoice with plenty of delicious food, fine wine & delightful company. In addition to her own recipes & those handed down to her by her mother, this book also

Includes:: recipes passed on by other members of Grazia`s family & who share her love for food.
