The title directly translates to ‘seasons’ in Italian, providing a thematic structure to the book that transiently captures the essence of seasonal cooking. With Olivia’s expertise, you’ll find traditional classics like aubergine parmigiana, stuffed tomatoes, and amaretti peaches, alongside innovative dishes such as chestnut gnocchi, grape focaccia, and courgette cake. This thoughtfully designed cookbook ensures that each recipe can be tailored to different dietary preferences. While some dishes include meat and fish, these elements are always complementary, enhancing rather than overshadowing the core ingredients. Additionally, many recipes offer easy adaptations for vegetarians and flexitarians, making it a versatile and inclusive guide for modern home cooks. Whether preparing a simple solo supper or hosting a grand feast for friends and family, provides inspiration and guidance for every occasion. The book’s collection of colourful recipes will seamlessly guide you from cosy winter evenings of comfort food to the bright, dappled sunlight of summertime feasts, always drawing inspiration from Italy's beautiful seasonal bounty.
