Liguria: Authentic Italian Riviera Recipes & Travel Guide – Perfect for Home Cooking & Coastal Adventures

Published under the auspices of the Belmond luxury hotel chain, this collection of recipes celebrates the Italian Riviera with photos, essays and recipes.

The majority of the recipes come from Belmond’s hotels in Portofino, although some are contributed by the essayists, who include

• Gilda Bruno

Rather than a rigorous and systematic examination of Ligurian food, this is an impressionistic portrait, illustrated with photographs of shorelines and market squares, fishing boats and artisans. There are photographs of each of the 24 recipes, which range from focaccia Genovese and fritto misto to gnocchi with olives and scampi and lemon risotto.

If you’ve been there, you’ll be transported back. If you haven’t been, you might just be inspired to go.
