Ricettine amabili per tutti i giorni

"Lovely Everyday Recipes", published by Edizioni Indimenticabile, is my first cookbook. After nearly ten years of sharing recipes on my blog, this book has come to fruition, bringing together 64 recipes organised by season, ranging from sweet to savoury, from first courses to desserts, using plenty of local produce and featuring testimonials from the producers.

In the introduction, I write: “I’d like you to think of this collection of recipes as the essentials of a wardrobe: they say that with a little black dress, a white T-shirt and a lovely handbag, you can create endless looks. Apply the same principle to the recipes in this book, adapting them to seasonal ingredients, your own taste and what you already have to hand.”

It’s a book to leaf through and refer to time and again: perhaps at first by lingering over the photographs, then deciding which recipe to try, and finally reading my tips and the producers’ quotes.
