Cucina Povera: Recipes from an Italian Family Kitchen
40 honest, everyday dishes from Rome to your home

Embark on a sun-drenched culinary journey through the heart of Rome with 40 beloved recipes from the Platania family—each dish a celebration of simplicity, tradition, and memory. From eggplant parmigiana and “wrong” carbonara to comforting minestra di verdure, pizzette, and nonna’s cherished desserts, this book is a deeply personal tribute to the power of home cooking.

Rooted in the philosophy of cucina povera—the humble Italian tradition of transforming modest ingredients into unforgettable meals—these recipes remind us that flavour comes not from excess, but from care, creativity, and authenticity.

Perfect for home cooks of all levels, this cookbook also includes:

• Tips for building a smart, simple pantry

• Suggestions for personalizing dishes

• Stories and memories from Luca’s Roman childhood

Printed with love and timeless taste, this is more than a cookbook—it’s an invitation to cook with heart.

Cook less, waste nothing, taste more. Buon appetito!
