In the shadow of Vesuvius, Naples is a vibrant, chaotic, passionate city with food to match. The cuisine makes maximum use of fruit and vegetables grown in the rich volcanic soil, moistened with monocultivar olive oils and enriched with creamy buffalo mozzarella.
Cucina Napoletana contains a selection of the best classic and innovative recipes with additional features on key ingredients, describing where they are grown and how they are harvested, processed and cooked. Taste the delights of hot chocolate from the Piazza dei Martiri, journey up into the hills to sample the wines and fine foods at Mustilli or explore the exquisite olive oils from the Torre Cangiani overlooking the bay of Sorrento.
The recipes are as simply stunning as the city itself.
