1 1 y separately published work icon Amore and Amaretti : A Tale of Love and Food in Tuscany Victoria Cosford , Kent Town : Wakefield Press , 2010 Z1699860 2010 single work autobiography

'Imagine visiting Florence to study Italian and being swept off your feet by a charming chef who takes you speeding through the moonlit hills in his Fiat to visit the village of his childhood, and into the kitchens of his Tuscan restaurants where he teaches you to cook. So begins Amore and Amaretti, Victoria Cosford's story of her long love affair with Italy, seasoned with the mouth-watering recipes she has mastered along the way.

'Twenty years later Victoria is once again leaving her unfulfilled life in Australia to cook for the volatile Gianfranco, an addiction fraught with challenges that has proved difficult to shake. The time has come for her to discover where happiness lies.' (Publication summary)
