The author has for the last 20 years shared the life of a sculptor whose appetite for marble and sedimentary rocks has taken them to Tuscany, Catalonia, Naxos and Apulia. She has written a passionate autobiographical cookbook, Mediterranean through and through and as compelling as a first class novel.

"It is not like any other book written in the past 50 years and its memory will stay forever." Theodora Fitzgibbon

Now reprinted in paperback in same format as original hardback, and on better paper than the previous smaller paperback.
