COOKING FOR THE SOUL

‘Quality of ingredients, tradition and passion are what drive me, along with the pure joy of cooking and feeding people.
I hope you will enjoy the flavours I have to offer.
Welcome to my culinary world.’

Jewish Flavours of Italy

A Family Cookbook

by Silvia Nacamulli

'Glorious food from an engaging family – informative, fascinating, moving and delicious’ – Claudia Roden

'Food and family stories are the best way, perhaps the only way, to begin to unravel the intricate history of the Jews of Italy. This is a brilliant book to cook from and, as you do that, get a glimpse into a community more than two millennia old. Start with Pasta e Fagioli, one of my father's favourites' – Yotam Ottolenghi

Jewish Flavours of Italy: A Family Cookbook is a culinary journey through Italy and a deep dive into a family's culinary heritage. With more than 100 kosher recipes, Silvia offers readers a unique collection of authentic and traditional Italian Jewish dishes, combined with stunning photography, practical tips, and clear explanations. With a delicious mix of recipes, family stories and history, Silvia offers a unique insight into centuries'-old cooking traditions.
