The Fragrance of Basil

by Raffaela Delmonte

Raffaela Delmonte's life has always revolved around food. Her love of cuisine has been inherited from her family's regional roots in Northern Italy and along the Italian Riviera. Her passion for cooking traditional dishes proceeded to researching and delving into more technical, historical and cultural aspects of food - she is a graduate of La Scuola della Cucina Italiana. This delightful book, written in a charming and evocative manner, encapsulates the essence of Italian food and daily life through memories of special times and places, and through favourite family recipes and photographs.
