Corfu Banquet

Corfu Banquet celebrates the tastes, smells and colours of an island where the cooking is seasonal and the flowers play changes on the theme of a year-round spring. A memoir set to the rhythm of the seasons of Corfu, Corfu Banquet tells stories of the house of Rovinia, built in the sixties by Emma Tennant’s parents, and of Maria, the ‘spirit of the house’. Corfu Banquet entwines recipes and original paintings with fond recollections in prose. ‘A banquet indeed...the recipes are simplicity itself’ The Scotsman ‘Full of love for Corfu , delicious recipes , very quirky and absolutely enchanting’ Antonia Fraser, Front Row, BBC Radio 4 Emma Tennant has written over 20 books, including A House in Corfu, Emma in Love, Girlitude and Ted and Sylvia.
