Magazine and The Financial Times Welcome to Casa Maria Luigia, Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore’s idyllic guest house in the Italian countryside Lara Gilmore and Massimo Bottura - the renowned chef behind three-Michelin-starred restaurant Osteria Francescana - designed Casa Maria Luigia to celebrate the hospitality and wonderful, earthy cuisine of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Their one-of-a-kind guest house boasts not only exquisite food, but gorgeous interiors filled with contemporary art, unique design objects, and an impressive collection of Italian cars and motorcycles. Slow Food, Fast Cars captures the extraordinary sensory and culinary experience of staying at Casa Maria Luigia. Created in close collaboration with Lara and Massimo, the book collects 85 authentic, accessible recipes for breakfasts, brunches, and all-day snacks, including frittatas and focaccias, salads, cakes and pastries, jams and preserves and more. At Casa Maria Luigia the past collides with the contemporary, and home cooks will discover seasonal variations for each recipe, as well as information about the dish’s origins and ingredients. Evocative photography and personal essays tell the fascinating stories behind every element of this magical guest house, from the incredible food to the interior design, cars, vinyl collection, garden, and country landscape. Review: Absolutely fantastic. - Takes you away to Italy, with a combination of recipes, essays and wonderful photography. Inspiring. Review: So much more than a cookbook - I am a bit of a Massimo Bottura fan and have all his previous books. This however is something entirely different and feels so special inside and out. it's a journey around his guesthouse in Modena but has some wonderful achievable Italian recipes that I want to cook all of. These are juxtaposed with the passion of Massimo and his wife Lara - music, culture, books, art and cars. it does really make you want to book a flight to Italy, visit their hotel and eat that breakfast! ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 309,085 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 310 in Italian Food & Drink 641 in Mediterranean Food & Drink 863 in Party Planning | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 70 Reviews | ## Images ![Slow Food, Fast Cars: Casa Maria Luigia - Stories and Recipes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71osvLQeScL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic. *by G***M on 18 November 2024* Takes you away to Italy, with a combination of recipes, essays and wonderful photography.
