My Italian Home Kitchen

By Pierre Yves Ley

Despite his French name and citizenship, Pierre Ley was born in Lugano and raised in Italy's Northern Lakes region. A former food critic and member of the Italian Academy of Cookery in Milan, his lifelong passion for food, and for the history and evolution of culinary culture around the world, led him, in the early 2000s, to host The Italian Break, a web series dedicated to classic Italian dishes. The show reached international audiences eager to recreate authentic Italian flavors in their own kitchens. In this book, Ley gathers more than 100 of his favorite recipes, each paired with original photographs and stories drawn from real Italian life. Rooted in tradition yet inspired by the way Italians cook and eat today, these dishes celebrate the warmth, simplicity and seasonality of everyday Italian cooking. With clear, step-by-step instructions and rich cultural notes, The Modern Italian Home Cook invites readers to bring the authentic, modern taste of Italy into their own homes
