    It feels often like a travelogue or a piece of fiction or a poem. She writes about whatever she wants, there’s no clear narrative structure but it all flows together.

Publishers Text

Feasting and fasting in Tuscany, Catalonia, The Cyclades and Apulia.

Perhaps no better book extant on the feel"" of Mediterranean food. The author writes with uncommon grace and intimacy of rustic peasant food from some of Southern Europe's sunniest tables. Hardly a cookbook, Ms. Gray accentuates the vagaries of her life with whom she refers to only as ""the sculptor, through the earth tones of olive, wine, and salt cheeses. Tuck this one away with your passport.
