Beam from winter straight into the Italian summer. Actually possible! Just leaf through and get inspired. These are our favorite cookbooks of the year.
Wild Figs and Fennel by Letitia Clark
Anyone who thinks there is hardly anything new to learn about Italian cuisine has not yet read a book by Letitia Clark. Her latest work covers a year in her kitchen, simply from spring to winter. You get oriented quickly and then keep getting stuck. Sun-warmed photos of Sardinia, Clark’s homeland. A zucchini cake with blackberries, a squid ragù, a celery and grapefruit salad. Of sensual, small texts that immediately awaken a desire to travel.
