For over a decade, American readers have been entranced by the special charms of Italy as related in such best-selling books as Under the Tuscan Sun and Eat Pray Love. Now Fearless Books has taken the Italian-American cultural exchange a step further with the release of Elizabeth Griffin’s A TASTE OF GRACE: Meditations and Recipes for a Fulfilling Life. This unusual large-format handbook not only shares the highlights of an American woman’s journey into a life of love and elegance in Trieste, Italy, but also provides readers with the tools to pursue their own inner journey into grace. Along with 16 sets of contemplative exercises, the reader is given charming glimpses into the everyday Italian lifestyle and easy-to-follow recipes from the kitchen of Mauro Cenci, the author’s husband. There’s even a pronunciation guide for such key Italian phrases as Hai fame? (pronounced EYE-FAH may?) - "Are you hungry?" - and tempo per fare niente (TEM-poe PEAR FAR-raye Nee-EN-taye) - "time for doing nothing."
