Tramontana

Om boken

Tramontana is a culinary journey through Italy’s northwestern frontier – from the sunlit coastlines of Liguria to the snow-capped peaks of Aosta. Following the ancient salt trading routes that wind inland from the Mediterranean, Simon Bajada uncovers a rich and surprising tapestry of regional food culture, where fresh, delicate coastal dishes give way to the buttery, hearty fare of the mountains.

Along the way, readers will discover focaccia and farinata, walnut-sauce pasta and beef agnolotti, buckwheat gnocchi and cheese-laced polenta – each recipe a reflection of the terrain, history and soul of the region.

Shot on location and in studio, this beautifully visual book combines over 70 accessible recipes with evocative photography and thoughtful storytelling. With its deep sense of place and practical appeal, Tramontana offers adventurous home cooks a fresh and authentic perspective on Italian food – rooted in tradition but full of contemporary charm.
