The Complete Simposio Cookbooks

 

Which Italian table shall we join today?

Step into the eternal symposium, draped in a toga, and recline among amphorae of wine and dishes from every region of Italy.

Here awaits great eating, sublime drinking, and inspiring filosofeggiando.

Each Simposio cookbook is another course in this banquet without time, guiding you through Italy’s seasons, cities, and regions.

 

Simposio is a unique collection of Italian cookbooks created by an authentic Italian author. Each book combines recipes worthy of Bacchus’s table, stories whispered by nymphs and fauns wandering as you read, and photography that captures the spirit of the Mediterranean — offering an immersive passage into Italy’s culinary traditions, folklore, and way of life.

Bring a distillate of Italy into your kitchen — whether you’re stirring a Neapolitan ragù as rich as a feast for the gods or preparing a Tuscan dish fit for a countryside symposium, Simposio transports you to the soul of Italy, where every meal is a banquet beyond time.

Simposio: Italian cookbook series

If you’re into real Italian food — the kind that still smells of firewood and wild herbs — this banquet is for you.
Tuscia’s Simposio is my latest cookbook. This symposium begins by opening an old cabinet in a country house: every shelf holds a story, every drawer conceals a recipe passed down through generations — manna for us symposiasts!
It’s made in Italy, steeped in local memory and Etruscan legend, where nymphs and gods still linger in the hills, and dishes that rarely travel beyond the village table.
