OUR COOKBOOK IS HERE!
The Life, Soul & Tastes of Italian Home Cooking
Much more than a cookbook, Appetito is an intimate collection of photography and food stories that takes you to a land where tradition and tastes are cherished.
​
This debut publication of Mangia Mangia's favourites includes family meals guided by the seasons, recipes handed down through generations, and techniques gathered from every corner of Italy. This is true Italian in all its beautiful simplicity -- perfect for those who seek out the soul in good food. Buon Appetito.

IT'S IN THE TASTE
A Celebration of Ingredients
Food that follows the seasons in line with nature's flavours. Celebrate pumpkin in autumn and asparagus in spring with homemade Italian dishes from our deli kitchen.
Spring is in the air with birdsong and bright blooms! To us, it means leek lasagne celebrating the creaminess of seasonal leeks layered with prosciutto cotto in one of our most popular lasagne - Lasagna Primavera

DIVERSE ITALY
Every Region is Unique
Subtle changes in flavours and ingredients are the base of Italy's variety in regional recipes. In Naples, warm Meditteranean sun ripens oranges and lemons; in Venice, seafood is tasty and salty from the lagoon; Rome's flavours are bold like her history and Alto Adige's dairy cows feed on green Alpine pastures producing rich, creamy milk and mountain cheeses.
Focaccia from Bari in Puglia is made with potato as a traditional recipe. We support local Pipe Place Potatoes with produce directly from the farm and Bradbury's Farm Shop for our ethically-farmed meats.
