“The life, soul, and tastes of Italian home cooking”
With thoughts of bright red tomatoes, bottomless carafes of white wine, and the bustling chatter of family and friends this is Appetito from author Alison Ranwell
Formerly a resident of Italy for 20 years, Alison returned to the UK with her husband, Francesco, and their two daughters in 2017, but found herself unable to leave behind the country’s spirit. Alison launched Italian food business Mangia Mangia in 2021. She now shares these recipes in her debut book, Appetito, where Alison brings together her family’s and customers’ favourites in one essential collection.
From Tyrolean Dumplings to Nonna Lili’s Lasagne to Mussels Marinara, her recipes promise a table full of happy stomachs and treasured moments shared.
Much more than just a cookbook, it’s an intimate collection of photography and memories that beckons readers into the warm glow of a hazy Italian afternoon. Pull up a chair, sit back, and let the extra-virgin olive oil flow because “È pronto!” – It’s ready! And it’s time to eat up. Buon appetito!
Appetito is a 264 page hardback and retails at £27. It will be available to purchase from www.mezepublishing.co.uk as well as bookshops including Waterstones, and Amazon.
