Cooking plant-based food effortlessly is not a utopia. In this book, The Food Sister—a personal organization consultant and graduate of the Joia Academy, the premier school of vegetarian cuisine—explains step by step how to do it. The goal is to make the plant-based world accessible to singles, couples, large families, and groups of friends, breaking down the wall that sometimes intimidates us despite our desire to get cooking. The key to everything is organization in the kitchen, from the pantry to the grocery shopping, to the tools that make cooking easier. Season by season, convenient menus are then presented—a starting point for testing and putting into practice the method you've learned—along with many traditional Italian recipes interpreted in an appealing way by the author. You don't need to hunt down ingredients that come from far away to choose a vegetarian diet: often it's enough to rediscover recipes our grandmothers knew well and get used to introducing healthy ingredients into our diet—ones we tend to skip, for instance, because of their long cooking times. Don't worry: plant-based cooking has never been so simple and within everyone's reach!

Ostinati signifies a destiny, a calling, but also an attitude toward life—a desire to keep tradition alive, to preserve one's village, one's relationship with nature and the land. We came across beautiful stories that deserved to be told. And so, after The Great Cuisine of Italy's Osterias, here we are with a new monograph once again dedicated to innkeepers and their cooking. The theme proposed this time is sustainability combined with resilience—that is, the ability not to give up: from the kitchen to the vegetable garden to the materials chosen for the osteria, but also in a social sense when we talk about integration or about places that hold out through difficult circumstances—think, for example, of the osteria in Arquata del Tronto, opened in a shipping container after the earthquake. Of course, there will be no shortage of recipes you can try at home, bringing many little pieces of Italy to your table. A beautiful and moving book, rich with photographs and written by the new generation of food writers, including Giorgia Cannarella, Barbara Giglioli, Francesca Mastrovito, Salvatore Spatafora.
