About the Book:
A widely-recognized and respected photo stylist, Annette Joseph has developed an international following for her passionate and joyful approach to cooking, interior design, travel and entertaining. She is an accomplished author who celebrates her interests - a virtual portfolio of Italy's simple pleasures - with her fans across a multitude of formats; cookbooks, novels, podcasts, a dedicated YouTube channel, creative retreats and, of course, by welcoming guests into her home... a thoughtfully-restored 12th Century fortress in Tuscany. Here she delights visitors with traditional takes on dishes, cocktails and her own, estate-grown wines.

Annette's newest book, The Sweet Life at La Fortezza, is more than just an assembly of Italian dessert recipes, it's a celebration of the home and lifestyle she's created over decades of exploring the authentic people, places and crafts that transcend the latest consumer trends. The result is a collection of stories and beautiful photographs that feel both real and deeply rewarding.

"Sweet Life" organizes centuries of traditional Italian desserts into easy to understand - and easy to follow - recipes for tortes, crostadas, filled pastries, frozen desserts, cookies and sweet breakfast treats. The flavors are enhanced by stories about the traditional ingredients and techniques that will give you a new appreciation of the dishes that have stood the test of time.
