The debut cookbook from chef Lettitia Ann Clark transports you to the Italian island of Sardinia through recipes, stories, and Matt Russell’s evocative imagery.

Woven through images of Letitia preparing classic Sardinian dishes are landscapes and still lifes that convey not just the tastes and sensations but a wider sense of Sardinia’s atmosphere. The pinky red tones of a radicchio salad seeps reappear in the rose-tinted sunset, while bold use of shadow and light give the images a classy, graphic feel. The relaxed refinement of Matt’s work here is born of his response to the place as he encountered it in real time – the same reaction Letitia had on first visiting and now shared with readers.
