Description

This book details the history and culture behind a common Italian ingredient: the fig. Also included in this book are instructions for curing figs as well as a catalogue of all known varieties of figs.

Discusses the 18th century Californian Franciscan missionaries' "mission fig" variety, too (cf. PDF pp. 84ff.).
