From the mountains of Sila to the white cliffs of Tropea and Capo Vaticano, from Reggio Calabria to the Pollino: all the most authentic and unknown Calabria is enclosed in this unique cookbook that goes straight to the heart of regional cuisine, at the same time 'poor' and substantial, peasant and delicious. Local products and preparations that are lost in the mists of time turn into an unforgettable journey into the hands and thanks to the pen of Valentina Oliveri, ‘cuciniera’ de l'élibelinde of Carolei, her cultural association dedicated to the promotion of local gastronomy.
