DESCRIPTION:
Ellie Greenwood said I want to have a Thursday Night Supper Club with Marlena de Blasi as the chef!. I have read all of Ms. de Blasi's memoirs. I love them. Very relaxing and real feeling. Better than your average travel literature. She's a good writer. This particular book was not quite as compelling as the others. Some of the chapters I felt I had read before in the other books in her Italian series. Still it was like being with an old friend. I wish she would write more!. Welshgal said Buon Appetito!. I just loved this book. The relationships between these women, the connections with their community and their love of good food and wine make for a great read. I was transported to Italy as I read it and I have recommended it to many female friends. It's a very special book.. I've read all of her books - recommended each one enthusiastically to friends EJL Marlena de Blasi never disappoints! The beauty of her prose makes you feel as if you are in Italy, immersing yourself in the culture that she has embraced. I've read all of her books - recommended each one enthusiastically to friends, and anxiously await more!

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. 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.. There—along with their friend, Marlena—they cook together, sit down to a beautiful supper, drink their beloved local wines, and talk
