Title: Cooking with Fernet Branca
Review –This is a hilarious and irreverent book about and English writer living in the hills of Tuscany. The wacked out story is secondary to the two narrators’ musings about life, art and each other. The book is interwoven with the primary narrators’ recipes that can best be described as haute- disgusting (stuffed udder in butterscotch sauce). Very well written with some laugh out loud moments- a perfect light summer book and would carry over onto the fall. Very unusual.
