Presentation

Liguria, with its herbs clinging to the cliffs overlooking the sea, its bays full of fish, its ancestral olive groves, its vineyards and orchards in every village.

LIGURIA: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera is the first volume in a new series, developed in partnership with Belmond , offering an exclusive look at culinary communities around the world. Illustrated with vibrant photography by Laura Jane Coulson and accompanied by essays by Andy Baraghani , Corrado Corti , Gilda Bruno , and Luca Cesari , the book explores the essential ingredients, characters, and stories that make this wild coast so irresistible.

Drawing on the world of Apartamento , the book begins with an introduction by Ruth Rogers , sharing her impressions gathered over decades of walking along the Ligurian coastal paths. Two guest recipes, by Fanny Singer and Max Rocha , show how those who admire this cuisine from afar can incorporate Ligurian flavors into their own kitchens.

LIGURIA offers 24 classic dishes inspired by the kitchens of Belmond hotels in Portofino: Splendido, perched on the hills overlooking the bay, and Splendido Mare, located in the piazzetta. We invite you to discover 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 village’s metamorphosis into the most evocative manifestation of Italy’s idealized lifestyle: a casual elegance, a sweetness of life bathed in sunshine and imbued with serenity: la dolce vita.”
