Anna Maggio was born in a small village in Puglia, Southern Italy. Her early childhood memories are an essential part of her life, and the simple and traditional recipes inherited from her mother sparkle with love and flavour. When she was ten, her family migrated to Milan where she was educated. She moved to London in the 1970s, where she married a musician and had two children, who are both musicians. Anna shares her time between London and her trullo 'Il Paradiso' in Puglia, described by Rick Stein as 'an amazingly atmospheric house set in an olive grove'.
"[Maggio's] beautiful new book . . . celebrates the rustic cuisine of this region of southern Italy, the heel of the Italian boot, where she grew up in a small village." * La Cucina Italiana (US) * "A gorgeous love letter to this region and to the nourishing food of this area. . . . [Maggio] made me appreciate this area in new ways, and added new staple recipes to my kitchen rolodex. . . . It's a really wonderful book, full of simple and doable recipes that honestly will transport you to Italy." -- Katie Quinn * Keep It Quirky * "Under the Olive Tree: Memories and Flavours of Puglia cookbook is an homage to Maggio's homeland and reads like a journal. She truly loves her food and takes the time to celebrate each dish." * Cookbook Dvias *
