Jeepers, creepers. While I was buying the Pepin cookbook, this popped up:

 

The Puglian Cookbook: Bringing the Flavors of Puglia Home Kindle Edition (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) by Viktorija Todoroskva, also $2.99.

 

That led me to another of her books:

The Sardinian Cookbook: The Cooking and Culture of a Mediterranean Island Kindle Edition (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) $2.99

 

I'm going to stop now.
