Description
Book Synopsis
An intoxicating tour of Italian Lidos with lush photography, Italian recipes and more, from some of the most sought-after beach clubs in Italy.
Brightly colored umbrellas dance in the wind, above matching sun beds in the same bold hues. The crystal blue water shimmers in the background and gently laps against the pebble beaches. Bronzed, glistening bodies dot the landscape. Like most things Italian, there is an art to a day at the beach.
Lido is a transporting exploration of the history, culture, and food of Italian beach clubs. Part 1 invites you to the clubs along the whole of the Italian coast. Part 2 shares over 60 recipes from apperitivi to dolci. Living la dolce vita has never been easier with recipes for Pinsa with Ricotta and Mortadella, Lobster Risotto, Puglian Bruschetta with Marinated Summer Squash, and Pavlova with Fior Di Latte Cream.
Grab your towel and find your spot under the umbrella. The salty, sweet air and azure waters of the Lido beach clubs await.
