Customer Reviews

Great read, great recipes!

Purchased as a gift for an overseas friend who has visited Messina Hof, I found it very difficult to hand it over! It is very well written, with a good combination of history and recipes, and I'll probably buy another copy, for myself! Together with a bottle of Messina Hof wine, this makes a wonderful gift.
