When he's summoned home to Sardinia, to say a final goodbye to his dying grandmother, he's offered the perfect opportunity to escape. On the noisy, sun-drenched island, Giacomo reconnects with long-lost friends and overbearing relatives, relives the childhood he once couldn't wait to leave behind, and rediscovers new joie-de-vivre within him. Never mind that he's making no progress on his translation. . . When the time comes to leave once more, Giacomo wonders: has he fallen back in love with his home-island? Or has he been hiding from something which he needs the courage to return and confront? But most importantly - is his grandma really as ill as she's claiming to be?
The Italian & Sardinian art of simple, healthy and delicious food; my family guide to food and culture. My mother taught me to cook when I was 8 years old in such a simple and effective way. I now proudly present my Sardinian home cooking guide, with its colourful and delicious food flavours combined with photographic landscapes offering 50 years of emotions with 50 selected recipes. I dedicate this book to my mother, a wonderful mother and cook, who had inspired me greatly. My cookbook offers the reader how to cook simple and delicious recipes, through my step-by-step instructions, for all budgets. Remembering my time with mother; it was in a blissful time we had spent together enjoying her food, her home was always uplifting with joy and laughter, embracing tasting flavours and aromas with her exquisite home cooking, simply made with love for food and life itself. I wish to share her humble legacy. As Sardinia becomes a regular international tourist hot spot, I introduce as a native of the Italian island an authentic taste of home-cooked Sardinian, Mediterranean and Italian food. The tourists have always appreciated restaurant food, but this is the first cookbook of Sardinian home cooking. This volume is of 18 chapters: Chapters 1-9 present my mission statement and vision for this book, an introduction about the island, an easy reading survival guide to Italian food terms and daily meals, Sardinian ingredients, including herbs with their qualities and healthy factors, all available in supermarkets, dry and fresh pasta categories, meat and fish production, the healthy food & lifestyle, its natural beauty. Chapter 9-18 present my recipes laid out as in the usual way from starters to desserts with delicious and healthy ingredients, tips and how to make: from the bread starter to sourdough bread loaf and spelt bread; starters like bruschetta and sea food, pasta dishes mixed in a varieties of meat, fish and vegetarian; how to make classic tomato sauces; full on flavour meat and fish dishes baked and grilled; vegetarian side dishes for all tastes; delicious zesty fresh salads and two spongy cakes for dessert. I have created a unique and original book presenting my food and a short story combined with high quality photos all copyrighted by me.
Guild of Food Writer’s Awards, Highly Commended in ‘First Book’ category (2021) In Bitter Honey, seasoned chef Letitia Clark invites us into her home on one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean Sea – Sardinia.

With beautiful design, photography, full colour illustrations and joyful anecdotes throughout, Bitter Honey is a holiday, a cookbook and a window onto a covetable lifestyle in the sun – all rolled into one.
Sometimes a family’s deepest silences hide the most important secrets.
In Sardinian Chronicles Bernard Lortat-Jacob poetically evokes Sardinian music through a series of encounters with individual musicians and their families. Refusing to separate the music from the world in which it arises, Lortat-Jacob offers twelve vignettes focused on individuals such as Cocco, a chicken farmer who deciphers the shapes of his fowl and the layout of his henhouses in the constellations of a summer sky, and Pietro, a sleep-walking postman who divides his time between mail deliveries and impromptu serenades. These vignettes bring to life an art still very much alive: the music of villages with an oral tradition, sung or played in the company of others. Through his sensitive portraits of music makers and their families, Lortat-Jacob overcomes some of the epistemological and methodological dilemmas facing his field today, while also giving the general reader a sense of the multiple and idiosyncratic ways that music is involved in everyday life. With a foreword by Michel Leiris and a compact disc containing samples of the music being discussed, this book constitutes a breakthrough in ethnomusicology that will also interest many in Mediterranean studies and European anthropology.
Based on personal experience, the authors present a book for those who approach this traditional Sardinian embroidery for the first time. Every aspect for the realization of a piece of embroidery done in Sardinian Knot Stitch is clearly illustrated with the aid of diagrams, photographs and instructions. In addition to the preface which outlines the origins and traditional uses of this stitch, the principal motifs and borders used on stitched pieces are also detailed with their names in both Sardinian and English. A few "non-traditional" projects are proposed which are simple to implement and complete with instructions and diagrams that will help to perfect the execution of the work. Sardinian Knot Stitch aims to be the first comprehensive manual of its kind on this traditional Sardinian embroidery technique.
