This Italian summer cookbook, the Southern Summer Simposio, aims to let you fully experience Italy’s summer food, atmosphere, and culture.
Going south is a way to dive into the Mediterranean sea and try delicious Italian fish, pasta, vegetables, cocktails, and dessert recipes. And to have a spectacular barbecue with your friends, devouring all kinds of bruschettas and chasing the stars!
An Italian summer cookbook plus more, much more
This cookbook dedicated to the Southern Italian summer will give you a taste of Italy’s summer culture (traditions and activities); take you on a short trip to Salerno; and inundate you with Italian seasonal fish, pasta, and dessert recipes.
From the cookbook
“Oh, Summer in Italy!
The blue skies, the green parks, the turquoise waters, the red tomatoes…
The sweet breeze, the dazzling sun, the fresh sea waves…
The sizzle of barbecues, the sound of children playing soccer on the beach, the music from the houses…
The tenderness of the grilled fish, the crunch of the granita ice, the sparkling of a Spritz…
The sweetness of the jasmine flowers by the street, the penetrating odor of seafood, the rich scent of tanning cream…
Well, I guess I covered all five senses, but there’s something quite more difficult to tell: the sweet-memories effect. It’s like everything about Summer in Italy has one pure, instinctive purpose: to evoke childhood, youth and every pleasant feeling that accompanied them.
I guess Summer is simply the season when you feel allowed to splash into sensations, naturally, primordially, and deeper than any other time of the year.
Ready? Take a deep breath…”
