More Information

What is bound to happen when Herbert Grönemeyer and his producer Alex Silva start working on new songs in a secluded house somewhere in lovely San Gemini, while Lorena Autuori cooks her favourite dishes from Umbria and Southern Italy for them?
The birth of a special kind of book. One that makes people happy, just like music and good food, for it nurtures the soul, heart, and belly. With Lorena Autuori's dishes the successful musician gathers strength for long studio sessions, draws inspiration in the short breaks between recordings, and reflects on the day that passed - aperitivo in hand.
The book not only presents the favourite recipes of Herbert Grönemeyer and Alex Silva from the fabulous cuisine of Lorena Autuori, but it also allows a unique insight into the creation of an album and shows the importance of good food for creative processes.
