The Christmas List:
Italian Joy By Carla Coulson
What a divine book! It looks like a lush,sumptuous recipe book of Italian food but it’s a lush, sumptuous book of Carla Coulson’s life in Italy. And just because she is a friend doesn’t mean I can’t rave about this book. It’s gorgeously designed, full of fabulous photos and is so inspiring I might just hop on a plane to Rome this afternoon. “Carla had it all, a glamorous inner-city Sydney apartment, a successful business and a designer wardrobe. One lonely Christmas Eve, however, she realised what was missing: excitement, work she was passionate about and, most of all, love. So, Carla packed up her life and boarded a plane. Italy became her true destination. With a camera and nothing to lose, she found herself immersed in Florence, tasting the food, learning the language, meeting the people, discovering a new career and country - and photographing her new life’ Magic.
