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.
