About the Book…
Once settled into her new life in Puglia, Sophie Grigson felt ready for another adventure . . .
Driving along the coastal ‘instep’ of southern Italy in her trusty purple car, she travels between little fishing ports and explores the beaches of Puglia’s west coast, then heads into the wild hills of Basilicata and Calabria’s high Sila, famed for its chestnuts and mushrooms, and ends her journey in the bergamot orchards clustering around Reggio.
In this book, award-winning author, Sophie Grigson charts the local delicacies, ingredients and producers; through recipes and stories, she immerses you in the beauty, culture, food and characters of southern Italy.
Full of delicious, traditional recipes from the different regions, from Puglian Beans in Red Winte Tomato Sauce to Calabrian-style Cheesy Stuffed Aubergines and from Super-Speedy Lemon Ice Cream to Chocolate and Almond Biscuits, discover the south coast of Italy with Sophie.
