About the Author

Claudia Piras studied philosophy and literature. Her interest in Italian cuisine developed at a tender age - she will never forget the incomparable tomato sauce prepared by her Sardinian father, nor the mussels with lemon and charcoal-broiled fillet of veal at her grandmother's house in Oristano. She works in Munich as an editor, author, and translator.
