Welcome to Litsy!

Every week on a Thursday evening, a group of four Italian rural women gather in a stone house in the hills above Italy s Orvieto. There along with their friend, Marlena they cook together, sit down to a beautiful supper, drink their beloved local wines, and talk. Surrounded by candlelight, good food and friendship, Miranda, Ninucia, Paolina, and Gilda tell their life stories of loves lost and found, of ageing and abandonment, of mafia grudges and family feuds, and of cherished ingredients and recipes whose secrets have been passed down through generations. For fans of all things Italian, and the thousands of readers who loved "The Kabul Beauty School"; "Eat, Pray, Love"; and "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"; this book is a culmination of de Blasi's 20 years spent living, traveling, cooking, eating, and drinking in Italy, and of course it includes recipes for the most mouthwatering Umbrian dishes."
