About the Author
Sophie Grigson is a cook, food writer and television presenter with over 20 books to her name and nine television series for BBC, Channel 4 and UKTV Food, as well as several more for the Travel Channel. She has also written columns and articles for the Evening Standard, Independent, Sunday Times, Country Living, BBC Good Food and Waitrose Food Illustrated. On impulse, after interviewing the late Russell Norman about his book, Venice, in 2019 she sold or gave away the majority of her belongings and packed herself into her small car to move to Puglia in the south of Italy. Since making the town of Ceglie Messapica her home, she has filmed two series of the award-winning Sophie Grigson: Slice of Italy for Discovery/Food Network and started her catering business, Trulli Delicious.
From the Back Cover
'Vivid, humorous and unsentimental, Sophie's portrait of modern Puglia, still steeped in old ways, is a delicious treat.' Xanthe Clay
'I knew when I arrived that Puglia was a region I wanted to get to know intimately, to understand the culture, life, history and geography, reflecting through the prism of the food that's put on the tables of locals and of tourists, too. I'm reminded of my twenty-year-old self, scribbling in notebooks as I first travelled through Italy's south, only this time I'm back to stay.'
After her children grew up and left home, Sophie Grigson found herself living alone. About to turn 60, she took the decision to sell or give away most of her belongings, to pack up her car and to drive to Puglia on her own to start a new life. In a part of Italy where she didn't know anyone, this narrative journal of food writing, stories and recipes brings to life the region, its food and the local characters that she meets along the way.
This is a book about courage, hope, new horizons and, above all, delicious food.
'OMFG! This beautiful book is transporting me there. I can't put it down. And the lack of chickens...I never bloody noticed!' Matt Tebbutt

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Sophie Grigson has written twenty odd excellent cookbooks, but I think this is the best of them. It is her first book for a decade and was obviously driven by a real love of her subjects, which are Puglia, people and food.
