Valentine Warner. What to Eat Now. More Please
Tuesday June 30th, 2009
Have you seen Valentine on the telly? He’s a bit hard to miss actually. When I first spotted him I thought my box had gone on the blink, as his head seemed disproportionally large for his body. I then discovered he is the son of Sir Frederick Archibald Warner, GCVO, KCMG ex Conservative MP and that his mother is the wonderfully named Simone Georgina de Ferranti. So it’s probably genetic; like floppy fringes. -

My cousin Rosa -Rosa Mitchell
Tuesday June 2nd, 2009
The book is divided into sensible sections that essentially follow the long timeline of an Italian meal – antipasto, brodo, pasta, carne e pesce, verdura and dolce. Each is punctuated by Rosa’s reminiscences of her life and her family’s life in Sicily and the photographs throughout are in the currently popular style which flattens colours to attractive earthy tones.
