Collector Valeria Napoleone has built up a collection of work by contemporary women artists, including a red clock by Pae White and the sculpture Madam Blavatsky by Goshka Macuga.

Now she has decided to edit some of her most favourite recipes of her Italian homeland together with her most favourite works of contemporary art. This book also contains full colour images of artworks referring to the recipes.

‘Having said that all the above are totally yummy and special aperitives, one of my favourite still remains the simple, traditional plate of salumi with salame, prosciutto crudo, bresaola, and speck served with pane carasau!’ (Valeria Napoleone)
