Overview

This is not a traditional cookbook. The Regional Italian Cookbook is a visual celebration of Italy's culinary soul, featuring 120 original expressionist paintings and 100 authentic recipes spanning all twenty Italian regions. Each chapter takes you through one region-from Piedmont's rich truffles and Barolo-braised meats to Sicily's Arab-influenced arancini and cannoli, from Tuscany's simple grilled fare to Sardinia's unique culurgiones and seadas. Every region presents five iconic dishes: antipasto, primo, secondo, contorno, and dolce. The artwork is the heart of this book. Bold, dramatic, and emotionally charged, each painting by Carmine Caredda interprets regional Italian dishes through contemporary expressionist brushstrokes-vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and passionate energy that capture the spirit of Italian food culture. The recipes are authentic, functional, and rooted in tradition. They are intentionally concise-genuine recipes that work, presented clearly and respectfully. This is not an exhaustive culinary encyclopedia, but a curated artistic portrait of Italian regional cooking. If you want to experience Italian cuisine through the lens of art-to see cacio e pepe as golden expressionist swirls, caponata as a riot of color and texture-this book is for you. This is Italian cooking as art. This is Italy, region by region, plate by plate, painting by painting.
