Under the Olive Tree Manuela Darling-Gansser Italian Cookbook Hardback

A beautiful large-format illustrated cookbook and food travel book celebrating the flavours and lifestyle of Lugano and Italy's Costa Smeralda.

Under the Olive Tree by Manuela Darling-Gansser combines authentic Mediterranean and Italian cooking with stories of family, travel and summers spent around Lugano and Sardinia. Filled with atmospheric colour photography by Simon Griffiths, it covers everything from rustic pasta, polenta and mountain cheeses to seafood, antipasti, desserts and relaxed Mediterranean entertaining.

More than simply a recipe book, it's a lovely celebration of Italian food, family traditions and Mediterranean al fresco living, making it equally enjoyable to browse as to cook from.

Very good overall condition with clean, bright pages and a sound binding. Some light shelf/storage wear to the cover and edges, as shown in the photographs.

Please note: there is a handwritten gift dedication/signatures on the title page, clearly shown in the last photo.
