Relaxed Into the Evening – Italian-Style!
Aperitivo is an integral part of everyday culture in Italy, and here too, the trend of celebrating the early evening with Sarti Spritz and Negroni is growing. But which delicacies and recipes complement these classic drinks? And what regional differences are there between Turin, Milan, Venice, Rome and Palermo?
Mercedes Lauenstein and Juri Gottschall not only tell us about the great wealth of non-alcoholic aperitifs and bitters, but also focus on the delicious food that is part of the after-work ritual. Their book features over 70 ingenious and largely unknown recipes for snacks and nibbles from all Italian regions, perfect for sharing, celebrating and relaxing.
