The Missoni Family Cookbook

"The Missoni family lives life in color. They didn't just revolutionize knitwear; they forged a lifestyle that, like their fashion, combines elegance with zest and spontaneity with sophistication. Missoni's style is recognized and admired around the world and is collected by fashionistas and museums alike. This same streak of easy glamour also inspires the Missoni family's entertaining, and their dinner parties have become one of the most coveted invitations at Fashion Week. Exuberant and casual at the same time, a Missoni party isn't just a kaleidoscope of style with four generations of family with Missoni, it's a kaleidoscope of tastes, scents and colors. And whether the meal is for thousands or two hundred, it always features family recipes selected for the season and the occasion—recipes that have now become legendary. And just as Missoni fans around the world collect the brand's iconic zigzags, Francesco Massapani Missoni, son of Missoni creative director Angela Missoni collects family recipes, and it turns out that her cooking is as singular as her style. Francesco has a healthy respect for tradition, and with the Missoni Family Cookbook, he chronicles the Missoni culinary tradition, making these delicious, well-guarded family recipes available to the home cook for the first time. This book invites you into the home of the family known so well through fashion so that you can join the Missonis a Tavola."
