Adriatic, Book

A gastronomic journey along Italy's Adriatic coast to discover authentic dishes off the beaten track.

Italy's Adriatic coast stretches from the tip of the boot-shaped peninsula in the Ionian Sea to the northern waters of the Gulf of Trieste. Along its length are rocky and rugged coastlines, stretches of sand, lagoons and marshes. Slender wooden fishing piers, whitewashed walls, colourful villages and seaside squares dot the 1,200 kilometres of coastline, with a history marked by Etruscan, Greek, Roman, Venetian and Austrian influences.

The cuisine of the Adriatic reflects the memories and traditions of the people of the past and present who have lived on its shores, with ingredients that reflect the climate and terrain. Join Paola on this beautiful journey.
