The Italian Spring Simposio is a travel cookbook from Italy filled with traditional and authentic Italian Spring recipes: desserts, pasta dishes, vegetables, eggs, pizza, and meatballs for your seasonal menus. Plus a collection of rituals, culture bites, and photographs of the peninsula.

Stuff your (solo) picnic basket with a jar of olives, a piece of Parmigiano, bread, a blanket, and a bottle of iced white wine. It is time for a reading-in-the-park (or rooftop, or terrace) Italian afternoon!

A COOKBOOK FROM ITALY

The Simposio travel cookbook series is made in Italy by an Italian author. Then printed and distributed locally.
The authentic, traditional, classic, and modern Spring recipes are researched in loco and framed by local stories, personal anecdotes, beautiful pictures, and Italian culture and folklore.

ITALIAN SPRING RECIPES THAT WILL DELIGHT YOU

This seasonal Italian cookbook celebrates the end of lethargy, the re-birth of our souls, and the blooming of flowers with authentic and traditional Italian Spring recipes and Italy’s seasonal rituals.

We’ve rested enough with our endless Netflix marathons, hot teas, wool socks, and comfy pajamas.

Now it’s time for some action.

And by action, I mean going to the park, laying down on the grass, and admiring the clouds.

No, really, there’s so much coming ahead: Easter, May celebrations, gardening challenges, reconnecting with friends that survived hibernation, exploring new places, ingredients, and so many Italian spring recipes!

Let Italy conquer your heart and revive your spring!
