Luisa FortunatoWhere does Luisa's passion for cooking come from?

Luisa grew up in a traditional Italian family, in which cooking was integral to family life. It's no coincidence that many of Luisa's favorite recipes in Spices of Life and Herbs, Too!/em> are Italian, several learned from her mother or from one of her many aunts.

Her career as an interior designer took her to Thailand in her twenties, where she was the only European working in one of Southeast Asia's top architectural and design firms. She lived with a Thai family, learned the language, and was rapidly shopping at the local market, being taught how to cook dozens of different dishes by incredibly helpful Thai friends and stall-keepers. So, again, it's no surprise that many of the recipes in Spices of Life and Herbs, Too! have a Southeast Asian touch, or in several cases are authentic Thai recipes.

Luisa's life and career then took her to Switzerland, where the cuisine is a kind of high-quality European fusion; and also where she learned to cook the perfect rösti. And it was in Switzerland where she met her English, Yorkshire pudding-loving husband. So, a few recipes for roasts have crept into Spices of Life and Herbs, Too!

Luisa and her husband now divide their time between Switzerland and London, which is where she has come to share her husband's taste for Indian cuisine. Never having visited India herself, she has nevertheless become fascinated by the London Indian restaurant culture, especially the 'From Bombay with Love' theme epitomized by the innovative Dishoom restaurants which present Bombay street food to a discerning British public. She has experimented with several of these ideas. So you'll find some Indian recipes in Spices of Life and Herbs, Too!, too. Unsurprising, given the title!
