"Any reader can browse this for an inviting new take on recognizable classics—but those who want to go deeper will get a look at where Italian cooking is headed." —Booklist, STARRED

Italopunk is not just a cookbook but a culinary manifesto that challenges the conventional boundaries of Italian cuisine through 145 recipes from Italy’s Neo-Trattorias.

From Sicily to Milan, a new generation of chefs from Italy's Neo-Trattorias is disrupting Italian cuisine with bold and modern twists. Italopunk celebrates these unexpected flavours and irreverent takes on beloved classics—Panzanella brightened with mango, tiramisu with a hint of sesame, cacio e pepe sprinkled with mint... Through recipes, interviews, and restaurant recommendations, this lively romp through Italy is sure to inspire and revolutionise the way you experience Italian food.
