From the dramatic cliffs of Positano to the lemon terraces of Amalfi, A Taste of the Amalfi Coast is an invitation to immerse yourself in the spirit of the South. Christine Countess von der Pahlen portrays authentic restaurants, vibrant markets, and the people who cook, savour, and live here with passion. Accompanied by the award-winning photography of Mayk Wendt, the book opens glimpses into lively kitchens, colourful gardens, and fragrant lemon groves.

Each chapter captures the magic of the dolce far niente and, through exclusive recipes, stories, and travel tips, brings the sunshine, ease, and flavour of the Amalfi Coast straight into your home.

Author: For Christine von der Pahlen, travel is life itself. She shared her passion for many years in the travel section of the women's magazine Madame and on her personal blog. She began her career as a fashion editor, travelling the world for photo shoots. Before long, she was also writing travel stories, and she has never stopped.

Mayk Wendt is an award-winning photographer known for his atmospheric, finely composed imagery that captures culture, food, and places with emotional depth - and he shares his work regularly on Instagram.

Selling Points:

  • Authentic portraits, insider tips and culinary highlights from Sorrento to Cetara.
  • Exclusive recipes and stories behind classics such as limoncello, spaghetti alle vongole, and sfogliatella.
  • Mediterranean joie de vivre to browse, dream, and recreate at home.
