A Summer in the Islands
Who hasn’t dreamed of a summer in the sun, of taking time out, of beachcombing, of drifting without restraint and responsibility from island to island?
Unbound is delighted to present the latest book from celebrated restaurant critic and BBC Great British Menu judge Matthew Fort. Following on from earlier voyages up the length of Italy in Eat Up Italy (2005) and around Sicily in Sweet Honey, Bitter Lemons (2008) Matthew has now invited us to join him as he tours the Italian islands sampling the culture of cuisines of the 52 islands he has yet to visit. From Elba where Napoleon was imprisoned and Sardinia where you find the finest bottarga; to Pianosa which Joseph Heller used as the setting for Catch 22; Salina, famous for its capers and Capri where Maxim Gorky ran a school for revolutionaries and was visited by Lenin and Stalin.
