A Year in the Village of Eternity
Part cookery book, part nutrition bible, part escape-to-the-sun travelogue: this is a vibrant and visually stunning exploration of the Italian village of Campodimele - dubbed ‘The Village of Eternity’ by scientists following a World Health Organisation study which revealed the astonishing longevity of its inhabitants.
It will chronicle twelve months in the life of Campodimele, focussing on the seasonal cooking and eating habits which doctors believe are the key to the villagers’ unusually long lives.
