They had bought an abandoned olive grove to earn them an honest, if back-breaking living. The following delicious recipes have been inspired by their love of olive oil and their experiences of la Dolve Vita; they can also be found along with the captivating story of Cathy and Jason's adventure in The Dolce Vita Diaries, available as a separate print and ebook.
