Beschreibung

A tale of courage in the face of adversity . . . a story of love and hope.

In this fascinating follow-up to Dear Francesca,Mary Contini
writes to her daughter Olivia to tell the story of her greatgrandparents,
the humble Italian shepherds who emigrated to
Edinburgh and then helped to transform Britain's food culture.
Sharing some of the recipes that they brought over, this is a
mouth-watering memoir of family and food.

'Touching and inspiring . . . But there is an added pleasure to
reading Mary Contini, that comes from the importance of food
in her life . . .The book bursts with flavour.'
Financial Times

'Essentially the story of one man's journey, but also a story of one
community, two nations, and how they grew and flourished
together.'
Scotsman

'Uplifts and inspires . . . Contini has augmented the family
legends with historical research and imagination.'
