• Author, Under the Olive Tree

  • Jan 2018 - Present

  Under the Olive Tree is a collection of personal recipes that have been handed down through numerous generations, never written down but instead demonstrated by mothers to their daughters. These simple authentic recipes share an insight into the Pugliese life and cooking. I include specific Italian cooking methods as well as encouraging readers use their own creativity.Puglia, in southern Italy, is known for the quality of its olives, vegetables and fruit: the traditional recipes use these ingredients, cooked simply and deliciously. Each season is different and the recipes celebrate the intense flavours and colours of the raw ingredients.
