Missoni Family Cookbook

Product Information

Just as wrapping yourself in the lightning-stripes of a colourful Missoni cardigan on a summer evening, Missoni food gives you an unpretentious hug. 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. Missoni style is recognised and admired all over the world and is collected by fashionistas and museums alike.
