In 1970, Patience Gray moved with her artist lover to a stone farmhouse on a remote Italian hill. Over the next three decades they cultivated their three acres of land, growing crops of garlic, herbs, figs, quinces, tomatoes and black chickpeas, as well as homemade wine. After making a pilgrimage to Patience's rustic kitchen 40 years later, food writer Jojo Tulloh wondered whether this peasant-like self-sufficiency could ever be replicated beyond the peaceful countryside; on her return to London, she found she was not the only one. In this book, Jojo shares her knowledge of this fast-changing culinary scene.
