Summary
This book merges the best of two cultures who have revered good food and wine for centuries. More than just another cook book, this a collection of recipes and stories that represent the culinary history of Marcia Georges, owner of the iconic award winning Il Centro restaurant in Brisbane. Part recipe book, part biography, Greek by Heritage, Italian by Heart is beautifully presented and truly a feast for the eyes, stomach and soul with recipes that are traditional, modern and retro. As the youngest daughter of an emigre Greek cook and cafe owner, Marcia's earliest years were shaped with sharing traditional food and good times with friends and family around the eating table. Later in life she travelled and studied in Italy and along with her husband opened Il Centro.

Summary
Those dining at Lucio's restaurant in Paddington (Sydney) could hardly suspect the extraordinarily rich heritage behind proprietor Lucio Galletto. That he is in Australia at all goes back to a chance meeting in 1975 at his parents' bar in the Carrara region of north-western Italy. Here it was that Lucio met his future Australian wife. Now, having established two successful restaurants in his adopted city of Sydney, Lucio returns to Liguria to reconnect with family and the history of this often overlooked region of Italy. With side-bars on the art, politics and the traditional foods of Liguria (think pesto, think seafood, think pecorino and lashings of vino) and copiously illustrated with Paul Green's beautiful photographs of the region, Soffritto is a magnificent testament to family and all the good things which life in Liguria has to offer.
