is a very tasty journey through Italian Switzerland.
Editor Pepe Regazzi, photographer Juliette Chrétien and editor Fabio Corfu set out in search of a local treasure-the original, authentic and genuine Canton Ticino. On their journey of taste discovery, they dust off forgotten stories, listen to sayings and legends of the past, meet passionate producers of salami, cheese, and merlot, and taste the authentic dishes of grandmothers of yesteryear. Between one Ticinese doc and another, they come across the king of persimmons and are seduced by the delicacies of a successful young cook.
The result is presented in eleven enchanting chapters. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular product and person, highlights exciting stories, and finally offers a collection of genuine recipes from Ticino’s rich culinary tradition.
The following 51 recipes have an all-native flavor–made both of thriving lands and the nostalgic flavor of times past–and bring a hint of that exquisitely Southern charm to the table.
