Perfect Order

“Never let the past follow too closely...”

Leopold S Lurdan

Leopold S Lurdan, an internationally acclaimed food writer and feared

restaurant reviewer is an old school friend of Marco Bragg, a successful

celebrity chef, entrepreneur and television personality.

Lurdan is embarking upon his ‘Italian Project’, a culinary journey tracking

through the streets of Rome to the hill top towns of Piedmont, researching

his new book on the regional cucina of Italy, Lurdan On The Food And

Culinary Traditions Of Central And Northern Italy. A rambunctious critic of

the fusion movement, Lurdan detests innovation for its sake alone.

Lurdan and Bragg are seeking rapprochement after a series of increasingly

bitter exchanges in their respective newspaper columns following Lurdan’s

latest scathing review of Sol Invictus, Bragg’s widely acclaimed flagship

restaurant. The recently remarried Bragg and his young wife Tiffany

who are honeymooning in Italy have been invited to spend an indulgent

weekend at La Fortuna, Lurdan’s restored 18th century villa.

Coming together again, the friends retrace their lives from school days

through to the professional success each has enjoyed, on a weekend that

will change their lives forever...
