The Search for the Definitive Bolognese...

December 26, 2015 4:52 PM

Sometime in late March/Early April 2015, the NYT Now App ran a story that linked to a very long article on the definitive bolognese sauce. The story followed a reporter as he went from town to town in Italy in search of the true version of this delicious sauce. The story disappeared from NYT Now before I got to finish it, and my google searches return recipe after recipe, but not that story. Did anyone out here happy to read it and remember the source? (My efforts to contact the Times through customer service also led to dead ends, hence this post.)

Best answer: The NYT Now app sometimes links to articles from 3rd party sites, I'm thinking it was this one. (I read it too!)

Doubling down on the nicknames, you might also want to check out Heston Blumenthal's In Search Of Perfection. He devoted an episode to bolognese.

I work on that site! Glad you were able to track down In Search of Ragu — it's one of the most popular pieces on Roads & Kingdoms.

More from the writer, Matt Goulding, who's also one of the founders of the site:

* His Roads & Kingdoms feature stories
* Finding Meaning in the McMuffin
* In October, he published the book Rice, Noodle, Fish

Thanks for reading :)
