A SUMMER IN THE ISLANDS

Wayne Mansfield, Matthew Fort, Tom Parker Bowles
and Joanne Mansfield at Fortnum and Mason London

If you have been to London you will know that there are more stores than just Harrods. Although a visit to Harrods is definitely a highlight.

Just down the street is Fortnum and Mason. Joanne and I ventured to the food hall of F & M's and met renowned chef Matthew Fort and Esquire Magazine Food Editor Tom Parker Bowles.

Tom was very pleased to meet a fellow cricket tragic and to bask in the glory of the English whipping the Aussies in the current Ashes series. Sometimes being an Aussie is NOT so hot... especially when we lose the unloseable 4th test as we did this series.

Matthew shared with me his new project A SUMMER IN THE ISLANDS book project which is being crowfunded at Unbound Books . Matthew is visiting 50 Italian islands and writing about what makes each islands food special.

This is a great opportunity from as little as $20 to help the creation of a beautiful book and get to know Matthew one on one. So, get over to  Unbound Books and join the revolution... and oh, tell them Wayne sent you!!
