Embark on a Culinary Odyssey

Let National Geographic and America’s Test Kitchen take you on a journey through the regional cooking of Italy in this sumptuous cookbook. Uncover beloved dishes and hidden gems in 100 kitchen-tested recipes that pay homage to the foods that have been the lifeblood of communities: squash-stuffed fresh egg pasta from Emilia–Romagna, creamy Sicilian gelato flavored with rich pistachios, and soul-satisfying barley soup from Friuli.

Beautiful to behold and easy to use, this inspiring book is a lavish gateway to the delights of Italy.
