OUR COOKBOOK IS HERE!
The Life, Soul & Tastes of Italian Home Cooking
Much more than a cookbook, Appetito is an intimate collection of photography and food stories that takes you to a land where tradition and tastes are cherished.
​
This debut publication of Mangia Mangia's favourites includes family meals guided by the seasons, recipes handed down through generations, and techniques gathered from every corner of Italy. This is true Italian in all its beautiful simplicity -- perfect for those who seek out the soul in good food. Buon Appetito.
CIAO BELLA!

Author of Appetito
"I feel strongly that if we could celebrate what grows around us and cherish our surroundings, we can live and eat to the tune of the seasons and nourish ourselves with what's ripe and fresh.
We'd excitedly anticipate every month's bounty and delight in our food, appreciating the passion farmers and producers put into their lands, adding value to our communities and to our sustenance. "
IT'S IN THE TASTE
Lasagna Primavera
A Celebration of Ingredients
Food that follows the seasons in line with nature's flavours. Celebrate pumpkin in autumn and asparagus in spring with homemade Italian dishes from our kitchen.
As bright bulbs bloom and birdsong returns, we welcome spring! Beautiful creamy leeks feature in our seasonal Lasagna Primavera layered between prosciutto cotto and mozzarella - deliziosa!
DIVERSE ITALY
Every Region is Unique
Subtle changes in flavours and ingredients are the base of Italy's variety in regional recipes. In Naples, warm Meditteranean sun ripens oranges and lemons; in Venice, seafood is tasty and salty from the lagoon; Rome's flavours are bold like her history and Alto Adige's dairy cows feed on green Alpine pastures producing rich, creamy milk and mountain cheeses.
Focaccia from Bari in Puglia is made with potato as a traditional recipe. We support local Pipe Place Potatoes with produce directly from the farm and Bradbury's Farm Shop for our ethically-farmed meats.
