My New Cookbook

My first cookbook, EAT LIKE A SARDINIAN, LIVE TO 100, is now available to pre-order here.

For my debut cookbook I’ve taken you all on a journey to my beautiful home of Sardinia. It’s packed with over 90 authentic Sardinian and family recipes that are easy to make, along with some traditional Italian classics from other parts of the country that Sardinians enjoy eating as well.

​As I always do, I’ve provided clear instructions and shared tips and tricks to help you master every recipe, every time. Where possible I’ve also suggested substitutions for a vegetarian or vegan diet.

I hope you will love it as much as I do.
