Like having Letizia in the kitchen with you, a true delight!
I am lucky enough to be able to call Letizia my friend, imagine how delighted I was when she announced that she had produced a book of recipes from her kitchen to ours ... I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy and met Letizia over a glass of wine and a lovely chat ... What a sumptuous luscious book it is!  With beautiful photographs by Ruurd to feast your eyes on, the recipes that have been tested, tried and true - I have had the utmost pleasure in taking a couple of her entertaining, delicious cooking classes and to now be able to have a virtual Leti in my kitchen, explaining the recipes as we cook - is priceless!  I have begun working my way through the recipes and each one I have tried has come out exactly as it should - the photos in A Kitchen With A View and my photos are the same!  My favourite so far is the incredibly simple but amazingly tasty Fried Artichokes - I had a glut of artichokes in the garden and this was the way we used them all up - we couldn't get enough of them!<br />Throughout A Kitchen With A View, when something needs further explanation, Letizia instinctively knows when this is necessary - her love and enthusiasm for cooking, for life, for Umbria, for the artisans of Umbria shines through in this gorgeous book and it makes a wonderful gift for any food lover!
