Description
A Curious Absence of Chickens: A Journal of Life, Food and Recipes from Puglia by Sophie Grigson
This narrative book of food writing, stories and recipes brings to life the region of Puglia, its food and the local characters that Sophie Grigson meets along the way. After a life-changing decision to leave her old life behind, Sophie embarked on a journey to start anew in this part of Italy, where she had last visited 40 years earlier.
With its vivid, humorous and unsentimental portrayal of modern Puglia, this book is a delicious treat that explores the region's food, culture and people. Sophie's story is one of courage, hope and new horizons, and is infused with the delicious food that she discovers on her travels.
