Francesco Altomare

The Food of Southern Italy and Calabria Francesco Altomare

Follow me on a journey through Calabria and Southern Italy. Discover food, people and a land that will feed your very soul. Travel with me as we cross the realm of 'cucina povera'. We will cook together as we voyage from the past to the present day. We will discover recipes from the mountains to the sea. We will dine on the food behind the personal stories and fables of this rich and ancient land. I have been travelling, cooking and eating cuchina povera for over fifty years. It has taken me fifty years to get round to writing this book. All you need to do is spare some time to uncover a food that will fill your soul with Calabrian sunshine.
