Having moved to a small town in Puglia over two years ago - a place she now calls home - 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 Puglia's gay capital, 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, Sophie charts the local delicacies, ingredients and producers; through recipes and stories, she immerses you in the beauty, culture, food and characters of southern Italy.
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 *
