Mimi Thorisson first captivated readers with A Kitchen in France, which offered readers a look into her family’s idyllic lifestyle in the French countryside and the delectable cuisine of France. Now that she has found a true home in Italy, Mimi presents a new Italian cookbook that shares the sumptuous meals she cooks and eats in her Italian home every day.

The 100 recipes in A Kitchen in Italy are Mimi's favorites and the staple dishes she enjoys at home with family and friends. Allow Mimi to transport you to Italy with delectable and accessible meals that celebrate the seasons:

• SPRING: Enjoy Mimi's Risi e Bisi, a brothy, risotto-like Venetian dish served in every home and restaurant when peas are in season.
• SUMMER: There’s no better way to use up abundant summer zucchini than in Spaghetti alla Nerano, a dish that encapsulates the beautiful simplicity of Italian cooking.
• FALL: Feast on a comforting Baked Tagliolini with Prosciutto, a luxurious yet uncomplicated baked pasta beloved by Mimi's kids.
• WINTER: When mandarins and clementines are at their peak in December, Mimi pairs them with White Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Cookies, made with the very best Sicilian pistachios, for a terrific afternoon snack.

With recipes spanning antipasti, primi, secondi, and dolci, you can build a special occasion menu to delight your friends or just tuck into a rustic countryside dish on a weeknight. Featuring 150 photographs shot by Mimi's husband, Oddur Thorisson, A Kitchen in Italy brings Mimi’s Italian secrets and the warmth of Italian family life to your dinner table.
