ISBN:  9781565126107 (pbk.) 9781565124738 (hc.) 1565124731 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  317 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "The author of A Thousand Days in Venice, A Thousand Days in Tuscany, and That Summer in Sicily, now takes readers on a journey into the heart of Orvieto, an ancient city in the province of Terni, in the less-trodden region of southwestern Umbria, in central Italy. Rich with history and a vivid sense of place, her tale is by turns romantic and sensual, joyous and celebratory, as she and her husband search for a home in this city on a hill, finding one that turns out to be the former ballroom of a dilapidated sixteenth-century palazzo. She befriends an array of colorful characters, including cooks and counts and shepherds and a lone violinist, cooking her way into the hearts of her Umbrian neighbors. Brimming with life and kissed by romance, this travel memoir captures the essence of a singular place and offers up a feast, and the recipes to prepare it. Marlena de Blasi has been a chef, a restaurant critic and food writer. She is the author of two cookbooks, Regional Foods of Northern Italy and Regional Foods of Southern Italy. She and her husband now direct gastronomic tours through Tuscany and Umbria."--Provided by publisher.
