Nancy Silverton may not be a native of Italy, but she is undeniably a local. Osteria Mozza, her acclaimed Michelin-starred establishment, was born out of her love for Italian cuisine, which began more than 30 years ago after a vacation in Tuscany. Since then, she spends half her time in Umbria - where she has built a second home, cooking, experimenting and discovering the abundance of flavours of the Italian countryside. The 68-year-old James Beard award-winner opens her little black book of gourmet addresses to us.
