A CINQUE TERRE TRAVEL COOKBOOK

This Simposio is a slow – very slow – travel cookbook dedicated to Cinque Terre travel, to the places, the food, the traditional recipes, and the local culture of a tiny coastal strip of Liguria’s Riviera.

Cinque Terre is the Ligurian region of sea, poetry, and anchovies. Discover it in the company of an Italian friend: explore the Cinque Terre – the five lands -, taste the food, learn the culture, meet the people, and take home beautiful photographs.

A TRAVEL COOKBOOK TO EXPLORE AUTHENTIC CINQUE TERRE

This cookbook aims to lead you through the five villages of Cinque Terre with pictures, stories, anecdotes, recipes, and the authentic point of view of an Italian author. My purpose is to make you experience Italy as I see it: as if you were traveling and cooking next to me – and I was tormenting you with my gab and my mental frills. Because traveling, slow and mindful traveling, means seeing the good and the bad and letting things touch you deeply.

Any guide can tell you what to see, what to do, and what to eat; this one goes a bit further. It is a cookbook but also a journal, a travelogue. A trip with a nerdy friend that read and researched all she could find. A mindful journey through Italy’s unique heritage. 

INSIDE THE CINQUE TERRE SIMPOSIO

Cinque Terre will caress you with its pastel colors, nourish you with its food, make you mad with the overexposure to tourism, and then lull you on the waves of its deep blue sea.
