Summary

Charting the best traditions and flavors across Italy, this cookbook looks at each region's signature dishes and reinvents them with fresh, contemporary interpretations 

In 1961 the Manfredi family—father Luigi, mother Franca, and sons Stefano and Franco—arrived in Australia from Lombardy in the north of Italy. Stefano brought the food and memories from the kitchen of his mother and grandmother, one of Lombardy's finest cooks, to his new home. Manfredi has been an award-winning chef and restaurateur since the early 1980s, and this magnificent volume is the culmination of Stefano's culinary journey, chronicling the food and wine from each Italian region and the dishes that make them famous. With more than 500 recipes from the traditional to the modern, this monumental and definitive cookbook will become an instant classic. Includes dual measures and placeholder ribbon.
