'La Dolce Vita' is a rich and engaging narrative detailing the author's family through their shared and continuing love for chocolate. The often-remarkable anecdotes are intertwined with an abundance of mouth-watering chocolate recipes that have been passed down through three generations of women in Isabel's family.
Starting with tales of her grandmother's exploits in Switzerland and Florence, Isabel's animated account progresses through Europe and the Second World War right through to the present day, with the author and her young family's recent relocation to Australia.
Each of the mouth-watering recipes featured throughout the text is unique, either because of its unusual blend of ingredients, its historical, personal or geographical interest, or its outstanding quality.
