This book invites you right into the home of the family known so well through fashion so that you can join the Missonis a tavola. The Missoni Cook Book published by Assouline, chronicles the family’s culinary tradition, making the delicious, well-guarded family recipes, passed down from generation to generation, available to the home cook for the first time. Expect crisp spring salads (the ‘Asparagus a la Milanese’ is of particular note), and no-expense-spared desserts – don’t miss the Missonis’ ‘One and Only’ chocolate pudding. Just as wrapping yourself in the lightning-stripes of a colourful Missoni cardigan on a summer evening, Missoni food gives you an unpretentious hug. And just as Missoni fans around the world collect the brand’s iconic zigzags, Francesco Maccapani Missoni, the son of Missoni’s creative director, Angela Missoni, collects family recipes — and as it turns out, their cuisine is just as singular as their style.

She was shortlisted for a PPA Award in 2017, has written extensively for many publications, and has contributed to three books. Francesco is very proud to have prepared meals and traded recipes with his honorary “uncle” and met with the approval of this consummate talent scout and buona forchetta. This same streak of easy glamour also inspires Missoni family’s entertaining, and their dinner parties have become one of the most coveted invitations of fashion week.These days, in addition to his extensive non-profit work with NGOs such as Unicef, Jones manages and mentors a roster of young musicians.

These legendary recipes can now be shared thanks to Francesco Maccapani Missoni and his The Missoni Family Cookbook, compiled with the help of his grandmother Rosita and his mother Angela Missoni. fr/lifestyle/food/diaporama/livre-de-cuisine-italienne-de-la-famille-missoni-assouline/50607" target="_blank">Et si on cuisinait avec la famille Missoni?
