Simposio, Italian recipes, travel, and culture: Torino

Torino does not reveal itself immediately. It unfolds—through quiet cafés, layered flavors, and a cuisine shaped as much by history as by precision. Torino – A Simposio Cookbook is an immersive journey into the culinary culture of Piedmont, where recipes are built on depth, restraint, and time. This is not just an Italian cookbook. Each chapter opens a door into the city—revealing dishes, traditions, and gestures that move between noble tables and everyday kitchens, where technique matters, and nothing is left to chance. What you’ll find inside: Traditional Piedmontese recipes from Torino and its surroundings Narrative introductions that place each dish in context Cultural insights into ingredients, rituals, and regional identity A blend of food, history, and lived experience Original photography capturing the atmosphere of the city A different kind of Italian cookbook Torino is a city of layers. Chocolate, vermouth, slow-cooked dishes, and precise techniques—each element reflects a culture where balance is achieved through attention, not excess. From vitello tonnato to bollito misto, each recipe carries a sense of measure and continuity. Who this book is for: Lovers of authentic Italian cuisine and regional cooking Readers interested in Piedmontese food culture and traditions Those drawn to slower, more precise ways of cooking Travelers who want to explore Italy beyond the obvious Enter the city. Follow the layers. Taste Torino.
