This is a growing list of websites, books, cooks & food stories that inspire me to write mine.
An inspiration | Nigella Lawson
For colours and flavours | Tessa Kiros
‘Born in London to a Finnish mother and Greek-Cypriot father, she now lives in Tuscany with her Italian husband, Giovanni, and two children. A child of the world herself, Tessa grew up in South Africa and left home aged 18 to travel. She cooked London’s The Groucho Club as well as in Sydney, Athens and Mexico. Her eight sensuous cookbooks reflect those eclectic tastes and sense of adventure’ | www.eatlove.com.au
A wonderful TV series | Two Greedy Italians
‘The series sees the chefs Gennaro Contaldo and Antonio Carluccio travelling around Italy to see how society and food has evolved over the years. It was produced by Nicola Gooch.

Lebanese and mainly Vegetarian Recipes | Comptoir Libanais
‘Bold, bright and fast, Comptoir Libanais is Tony Kitous’s group of five cheerful Lebanese cafés. His first book, written with baker and photographer Dan Lepard, is in the same colourful style. It’s a straightforward collection of recipes from the restaurants, with a brief essay by Lebanese restaurateur Kamal Mouzawak about the nature of Arab food. Source: http://bit.ly/1CYdK4D’
