Falling Cloudberries by Tessa Kiros

World of Family Recipes

Part cookbook, part travel journal and part family memoir, Falling Cloudberries brings together the food and memories of Tessa Kiros’ wonderfully multicultural life.

Born to a Finnish mother and Greek-Cypriot father, raised in South Africa and later settling in Italy, Tessa draws on recipes and traditions from Finland, Greece, Cyprus, South Africa, Italy and beyond.

Across almost 400 beautifully designed pages, family stories, travel, photography and home cooking come together in a book that’s as enjoyable to sit down and read as it is to actually cook from.

Originally published in 2004, Falling Cloudberries went on to win the Gold Ladle for Best Hardcover Recipe Book at the 2005 World Food Media Awards.
