Reading this feels like being on a Mediterranean holiday. Stories transport you to the glistening water and tranquillity of the laid-back life on Sardinia, a place where the perfection of the ingredients shines by using the simplest of cookery. Start with an aperitivo with crusty bread, ricotta, figs and honey, then don’t go past the tray of baked chicken with citrus, fennel and white wine, served with a salad of bitter leaves. It’s heavenly.
