When war came to Italy everything changed: her family had to abandon their apartment and the city for the countryside, where the peasants still ate well, but life was dangerous... As a teenager, Anna became used to throwing herself into a ditch as the strafing planes flew over, and was imprisoned, twice. Her story is informed and enlivened by the food and memories of her native land - from lemon granita to wartime risotto with nettles, from vitello tonnato to horsemeat roll, from pastas to porcini. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnna arrived in England in 1949 to a culinary wasteland. She married an Englishman and stayed on, and while bringing up her children, she wrote books which inspired a new generation of cooks. This is a memoir of a life seen through food - each chapter rounded off with mouthwatering recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140362748144,"sku":"9781448114672","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448114672_p0.jpg?v=1763831220","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448114672","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
