Having three generations of her family living under the same roof was once part of the Italian dream for Rosie. But when her party-loving, whiskey-drinking, poker-playing 85-year-old mother moves over from Ireland to Italy, Rosie's longed for dolce vita in Umbria is anything but sweet.
With a preference for bland boiled potatoes to her daughter's Italian cooking and an aversion towards housework, Rosie's mother's requirements to feel at home in the Sighing House-including a smelly deep fat-frier, lots of clutter, parties and a new pup-are very different to Rosie's vision.
However, the most urgent thing on Rosie's to-do list is not dealing with the needs of her artist mother, nor the ongoing renovation 'what now?' moments-such as electric wires in the chimney. Rosie has the more pressing issue of a backlog of twenty summer weddings to be planned now that Covid restrictions are lifted. But with vendors going bust, and demands of couples going extreme, Rosie needs to find a way to get through the hottest Italian summer on record without burning out or having a gelato-mountain sized melt down.
Includes 10 delicious and simple recipes including Strangled Priest and White Walnut Pasta.
