LIGURIA: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera is the first book in a new series developed in collaboration with Belmond, offering an exclusive insight into the world's culinary communities. With vibrant photography by Laura Jane Coulson and essays by Andy Baraghani, Corrado Corti, Gilda Bruno and Luca Cesari, the book explores the key ingredients, people and stories that make this rugged coastal region so irresistible. From the world of Apartamento, Ruth Rogers shares her impressions of decades of hiking the Ligurian coastal trails in an introduction, and two guest recipes by Fanny Singer and Max Rocha show how admirers from afar can incorporate Ligurian cuisine into their cooking.

LIGURIA presents 24 classic dishes inspired by the kitchens of the Belmond hotels in Portofino: the Splendido, perched in the hills above the bay, and the Splendido Mare, down by the Piazzetta. We invite you to a magical, transforming land; as Gilda writes: “In truth, no one knows Portofino as well as the sea. The tides and the roaring belly have been the only witnesses to the transformation of the village into the most vivid manifestation of the idealized Italian lifestyle, of casual elegance and sun-drenched, soothing leisure: la dolce vita”.
