Cooking with Nonna

Comforting and authentic Italian recipes with a plant-based twist and the ultimate seal of approval from Giuseppe’s Nonna, Marianna

Giuseppe Federici is a second-generation British Italian. Food and family have always been intertwined and at the centre of Giuseppe’s life. So, when he went vegan, he needed to find a way to cook the flavours of his family.

With the help of Nonna, Giuseppe learned how to make the authentic Italian and Sicilian dishes that Nonna grew-up with, vegan-style.

From Lasagna, Arancini, the Perfect Tomato Sauce, Pasta Aglio Olio e Peperoncino, Tiramisu and so many more, Giuseppe shares 80 of his and Nonna’s greatest recipes in a beautiful cookbook which celebrates rustic Italian home cooking and the joy of plant-based eating, but also the power of family and how food transcends generations and brings cultures together.
