關於作者:
British-born Adele Evans is a travel writer and broadcaster
who fell in love with Italy at first sight at the age of 12. It was
about 10 years later that she made her first trip to the ‘little
continent’. Ortygia was where she had her ''Eureka'' moment,
entranced by the sublime melting pot of the Grecian with the
Norman, Baroque and beyond with each wave of invaders adding to the
cultural—and culinary mix. The delight of savoring snow from Mt
Etna with rose-water and jasmine—just as the Arabs did when they
invented ice cream, the fusion of flavors set against groves of
citrus and olive trees and the perfumed nero d’avola wine draw her
back time and time again. For her, this alluring, brooding,
mesmerising meeting place of Africa and Europe is like nowhere else
on earth. When not globetrotting, Adele returns as often as
possible to all places Italian and writes for many national
newspapers from the Sunday Mirror to the Sunday Times, magazines
and websites. She is also the author of several guidebooks,
especially on Italy and France.
