The Umbrian Thursday Night Supper Club

Summary

'If you loved Under the Tuscan Sun, you’ll love this' Red Magazine


Every week on a Thursday evening, a group of four rural Italian women gather in an old stone house in the hills above Italy’s Orvieto. There – along with their friend, Marlena – they cook together, sit down to a beautiful supper, drink their beloved local wines, and talk.

Surrounded by candle light, good food and friendship, the four women tell Marlena their evocative life stories, and of cherished ingredients and recipes whose secrets have been passed down through generations.

Reviews

  • If you loved Under the Tuscan Sun, you’ll love this. Great stories of ageing, abandonment, lost loves and Mafia feuds, interspersed with wonderful recipes for authentic dishes
