Moroseta Kitchen: Recipes and Stories from a Modern Puglian Farmhouse is the much-anticipated debut cookbook by Giorgia Eugenia Goggi, celebrated chef at a design-forward restaurant, hotel, and cookery school in Puglia, Italy. This beautifully crafted book captures the essence of modern Italian cuisine, rooted in tradition yet brimming with creativity and contemporary flair.
Set against the backdrop of Puglia’s stunning landscapes, Moroseta Kitchen explores the beauty of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The recipes are as enticing as they are accessible, offering inspiration to home cooks eager to elevate familiar dishes with inventive touches. Highlights include Grilled Asparagus with Gremolata and Tahini Sauce, Flat Peach, Cucumber and Mozzarella Salad, Tomato Risotto with Garlic and Lemon, and the intriguing Fig Leaf Gelato. Each dish reflects Goggi’s unique approach, combining the simplicity of Italian cooking with imaginative flavour pairings.
Organised by the seasons, the book provides a culinary journey through the year, celebrating the best of what nature has to offer. Spring’s vibrant citrus and fennel lead to summer’s sun-drenched tomatoes and basil, autumn’s hearty produce, and the comforting ingredients of winter. Alongside the recipes, Goggi includes evocative essays on the importance of seasonal produce, enriching the reader’s understanding of Italian food culture.
Visually, Moroseta Kitchen is a feast for the eyes. It features stunning photography of the kitchen garden, bustling Puglian markets, rustic farms, and charming fishing towns. Images of the restaurant’s elegant interiors and kitchen space add to the book’s appeal, making it not just a collection of recipes but an ode to the rich culinary heritage of Puglia.
This cookbook is a celebration of modern Italian food that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. For anyone captivated by the romance of Puglian life and the flavours of Italy, Moroseta Kitchen offers an irresistible invitation to fall in love with the region, its produce, and its vibrant food culture.
