Apartamento LIGURIA: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera

Liguria, with its herbs embracing the sea cliffs, its bays teeming with fish, and its ancient olive groves, grapevines, and orchards scattered throughout every village. LIGURIA: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera is the first volume in a new series, created in collaboration with Belmond, offering an exclusive glimpse into the culinary communities around the world. Featuring stunning photography by Laura Jane Coulson and insightful essays by Andy Baraghani, Corrado Corti, Gilda Bruno, and Luca Cesari, the book delves into the key ingredients, people, and histories that make this rugged coastline so captivating. An introduction by Ruth Rogers from Apartamento shares impressions gathered over decades of exploring Liguria’s seaside paths, while guest recipes from Fanny Singer and Max Rocha reveal how those enchanted by Liguria’s cuisine can recreate its flavors at home. LIGURIA features 24 classic dishes inspired by the kitchens of Belmond’s hotels in Portofino: Splendido, nestled in the hills overlooking the bay, and Splendido Mare, located in the vibrant piazzetta. We invite you into this enchanting, transformative region; as Gilda writes, “In truth, no one knows Portofino like the sea. Its tides and roaring belly were the only witnesses to the village’s transformation into the most evocative embodiment of Italy’s idealized lifestyle, nonchalant elegance, and sun-drenched, soothing leisure: la dolce vita.”
