Introducing the New Book
by Mamma Agata

After the international success of “Simple and Genuine,” Mamma Agata presents a brand-new cookbook that celebrates the authentic flavors of the Amalfi Coast with a collection of cherished family recipes passed down through generations.

More Than Just a Cookbook

This new volume is not only a journey through traditional Italian cuisine, but also a heartfelt tribute to the culture, lifestyle, and beauty of Ravello. Each page captures the warmth of Italian hospitality and the simplicity of fresh, local ingredients.

From Garden to Table

At the heart of Mamma Agata’s philosophy is the idea that great meals begin with quality ingredients. That’s why many of the recipes are inspired by what grows in the family’s organic garden perched on a cliff 350 meters above the sea.

Beyond recipes, the book features personal anecdotes, photos, and stories that evoke memories of family gatherings, seasonal traditions, and unforgettable flavors that have made Mamma Agata’s cooking school a beloved destination worldwide.
