Liguria Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera by APARTAMENTO Magazine

Liguria, with its grasses hugging the sea cliffs, with its bays full of fish, with its ancient olive groves, vineyards and orchards found in every village.

LIGURIA: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera is the first in a new series, developed in collaboration with Belmond, offering an exclusive window into culinary communities around the world. Featuring vivid photography by Laura Jane Coulson and essays by Andy Baraghani, Corrado Corti, Gilda Bruno and Luca Cesari, the book explores the key ingredients, people and stories that make this rugged coastline so irresistible. From the world of Apartamento, an introduction by Ruth Rogers shares impressions gleaned from decades of wandering Liguria’s coastal paths, and two guest recipes by Fanny Singer and Max Rocha show how admirers from afar might incorporate Ligurian cuisine into their kitchens.

LIGURIA presents 24 classic dishes inspired by the kitchens of Belmond’s Portofino hotels: Splendido, set on the hills overlooking the bay, and Splendido Mare, in the piazzetta. We invite you to a magical and transformative land; as Gilda writes, “Truly, no one knows Portofino like the sea. Its tides and roaring belly were the only witnesses to the town’s metamorphosis into the most evocative manifestation of Italy’s idealised way of life, carefree elegance and relaxing sun-drenched leisure – la dolce vita.”
