Missoni Family Cookbook

Product Information

Lush and informal at the same time, a Missoni feast is not just a kaleidoscope of style with four generations of family wearing Missoni — it’s a kaleidoscope of tastes, scents, and colours. p> Francesco Maccapani Missoni is the son of Angela Missoni and Marco Maccapani and the grandson of Tai and Rosita Missoni, founders of the eponymous fashion brand. The masters of zig-zag have swapped their signature pattern for eye-catching red-and-white checkerboard on the front cover, though the storied criss-crossing design wiggles its way through the collection of recipes: thrown nonchalantly across tables, encircling the rim of a porcelain plate.
