Proeven van Italië is the best Italian cookbook ever (and you can win it!)
I absolutely love cookbooks. Often not even to cook from, but more for inspiration and entertainment. My favorite cookbook is Proeven van Italië. In this beautifully designed book, you travel from north to south across 400 pages and are surprised by unknown Italian customs, iconic recipes, amusing legends, beautiful maps, photos, and illustrations. I even dare to say with certainty that this is the best Italian cookbook EVER. And the best part: we’re giving away three copies of this masterpiece.
Francois-Régis Gaudry wrote the book together with his friends. This isn’t the first time he’s gathered a group of friends and delivered a culinary masterpiece, either; the wonderful Bon Appétit, a somewhat unstructured encyclopedia of culinary matters, is also his work.
The best Italian cookbook
And just like Bon Appétit, Proeven van Italië is a feast for the senses. From culinary-historical facts to cooking with bread—because why throw away stale bread when you can transform, reuse, and elevate it?—the best drinks, all local cattle breeds beautifully illustrated (including how to butcher beef), juicy facts about olio di oliva, 35 ways to order an Italian coffee, the preparation of classic dishes (such as Zuppa Inglese), the real history of pizza, and so much more. No subject is left undiscussed, no question unanswered.
