Description

Praise for Sophie Grigson's A Curious Absence of Chickens:

'A delicious treat' Xanthe Clay
'Stuffed full of recipes you want to cook' Prue Leith
'Delicious' Daily Mail

Once settled into her new life in Puglia, Sophie Grigson felt ready for another adventure . . .

Driving along the coastal 'instep' of southern Italy in her trusty purple car, she travels between little fishing ports and explores the beaches of Puglia's west coast, then heads into the wild hills of Basilicata and Calabria's high Sila, famed for its chestnuts and mushrooms, and ends her journey in the bergamot orchards clustering around Reggio.

In this book, award-winning author, Sophie Grigson charts the local delicacies, ingredients and producers; through recipes and stories, she immerses you in the beauty, culture, food and characters of southern Italy.

Full of delicious, traditional recipes from the different regions, from Puglian Beans in Red Winte Tomato Sauce to Calabrian-style Cheesy Stuffed Aubergines and from Super-Speedy Lemon Ice Cream to Chocolate and Almond Biscuits, discover the south coast of Italy with Sophie.

Chapters include:

* Ingredients
* Puglia
* Basilicata
* Calabria
* Recipes course by course


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.

Reviews
Sophie's style is real and authentic, mirroring the simplicity of the dishes she brings us from Italy's southern regions of Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria . . . Exploding Tomatoes is a collection of experiences, cultural observations, social history and insights . . . Sophie captures the essence of our region's cuisine, recognising that simplicity is king. * The Puglia Guys *
Sophie's writing is the gift that keeps on giving. Like the food and the people, Exploding Tomatoes is generous, packing in almost 100 recipes over a delicious 300 pages. * The Puglia Guys *
Plentiful insights are provided into the food culture of the region with recipes, stories and interviews. * National Geographic *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
