Escape to Italy with this sumptuous story of secrets and friendships under Mediterranean skies.
Escape to Italy with this sumptuous story of secrets and friendships under Mediterranean skies.
A recipe for life should be a simple thing: love and happiness, family, friends and a little food. But life is rarely straightforward...
Alice wants to make the most of life—after all, she knows how fragile it can be—and knows she never feels more alive than when she's cooking. Babetta has spent a lifetime tending the garden of her tiny house on the Italian coast, supplying food to feed a family now grown and gone.
One summer, these two women are brought together in a crumbling Mediterranean villa, with the shared language of food. There, under the heat of the Italian sun, or the shade of the pomegranate tree, secrets will be spoken, fears and hopes shared. But life's lessons are not learnt easily.
Recipe for Life by Nicky Pellegrino is a heartwarming tale of friendship, resilience, and the power of sharing a meal, certain to inspire and delight.

About the Author
Nicky Pellegrino's Italian father came to England and fell in love with a Liverpool girl. Bringing his passion for food to his new family, his Italian mantra that you live to eat not eat to live is one of the inspirations behind Nicky's delicious novels. Now living in New Zealand, where she works as a journalist, Nicky hordes her holidays so she and her husband can return to Italy to see family, eat the best mozzarella and research her books.
