Vincenzo, Gianni, Nicola e Pino - quattro amici di vecchia data - si ritrovano tutti i lunedì per giocare a poker, una vecchia abitudine che nulla ha mai cambiato. Neanche i rispettivi matrimoni, più o meno fortunati. La partita, quella sera, si svolge a casa di Pino, appena separatosi, ma fin dall'inizio si capisce che sarà impossibile giocare, perché Nicola è in piena crisi e alla fine coinvolge nella discussione tutti gli altri. Insomma, la partita si trasforma presto in una sorta di terapia di gruppo che ha per tema le vessazioni che i poveri uomini subiscono dalle donne. Poi, un'idea di Pino: 'Quanto eravate disposti a perdere stasera? Duecentocinquanta euro? Ecco, e secondo voi per 1000 euro non la troviamo una 'signorina' che viene qui?'. 'Sì, dai', 'Mai e poi mai'. Reazioni diverse destinate a scatenarsi ulteriormente quando, contattata da Pino, 'lei' arriva: alta, elegante, bellissima e chic. Insomma, da perderci la testa.

Il libro rappresenta un pratico riferimento tecnico che pone a confronto in forma sistematica i principi contabili internazionali adottati dall'Unione Europea (IAS/IFRS) con i principi contabili applicabili negli Stati Uniti (US GAAP) e in Italia. In uno scenario in cui i principali organismi di emanazione contabile - FASB e IASB - si sono reciprocamente impegnati a realizzare l'ambizioso processo di convergenza fra gli US GAAP e gli IFRS, IAS/IFRS - US GAAP -'Principi contabili italiani' costituisce una solida guida di consultazione, completa di specifiche sezioni che, per ogni argomento e con esplicite note di rinvio alla fonte primaria, consente di cogliere le principali differenze tra i principi, anche di tipo applicativo. Tali sezioni, infatti, includono esempi concreti, tratti dai documenti di rendicontazione contabile dei principali operatori quotati, volti a illustrare l'effetto pratico connesso all'applicazione di differenti principi contabili.

“Follow the seasons. Keep the flavors pure and straightforward. Use proper yet simple techniques.” Applying this aesthetic to the Italian tradition, Gina DePalma has created a cookbook of the desserts that have wowed diners at Babbo, New York's most coveted reservation since it opened eight years ago with DePalma as pastry chef. From her exciting imagination spring desserts such as Sesame and White Corn Biscotti, Little Grappa Soaked Spongecakes, and Chocolate and Tangerine Semifreddo. Recipes for classics like Cassata alla Siciliana join new interpretations of traditional desserts such as White Peach and Prosecco Gelatina. More than just a cookbook, Dolce Italiano reveals the ten ingredients you need to know to make Italian desserts, along with wine pairings to accompany the recipes. Never before has a cookbook given home cooks a chance to experience the full variety and subtlety of Italian desserts. Mario Batali has called Dolce Italiano “pure inspiration.”
