OLD WORLD ITALIAN

MIMI THORISSON POTTER, $80

-

As much a coffee-table book as it is a cookbook, Old World Italian documents the life many of us fantasise about living if we did what Mimi and her family did in 2018 and uprooted their life in the Médoc and moved to Piemonte. Quite how she achieved this with such warmth, elegance and finesse while wrangling eight children and several dogs is mysterious. The recipes are classic Italian; it is the vignettes on their life in Italy, their travels, and the people they meet that set it apart. It transports you to a seat at the Thorisson’s family table and you may just never want to leave.
