Interview: My Turin
With Serène Delmas, author
A great lover of transalpine cuisine, Serène realized that the best way to taste everything was... to go and live in Italy! She enthusiastically travels the Italian territory to discover all its culinary riches. It's because of her passion for chocolate (and wine, and truffles...) that Turin and Piedmont hold a special place in her heart.
