Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Zucchini, mint and Bechamel lasagne (Lasagne con zucchine, menta e Besciamella)

      This was very delicious, though I would recommend doubling the amount of zucchini so that every bite is full of them! Make sure to season the bechamel with extra salt.

  • Flourless lemon and almond cake with chocolate ganache (Torta Caprese al limone con ganache al cioccolato)

    • AllieTaylor on August 02, 2025

      Ok, I’ve tried this recipe twice now — both times having made an error (grrr). The first time, I forgot to add the baking powder but the beaten egg whites made up for it; the second time, I misread the amount of cornflour for the amount of baking powder and put in double. Still, it worked. If I make it again, I will be extremely careful with my mise-en-place. It’s a nice cake, particularly if you want gluten free. However, I’m going to tell you now that it is VERY equipment intensive: 5 or 6 bowls; two sets of beaters; etc etc etc. And you’re left with 4 ½ zested lemons (make jam!). Is it worth the trouble? You WILL need to put paper on the bottom of the cake tin but DON’T do the sides. That’s the voice of experience you’re hearing… Also, the ganache does NOT set well, certainly not like the oh-so-yummy illustration. Maybe there’s too much cream? Maybe try using only 120ml, instead of 150? And I added a pinch of salt to the ganache, to make the chocolate pop. How was yours?

Publishers Text

"With so much volcanic activity, the soil surrounding Vesuvius, Etna, and Vulcano are rich with minerals that make the vegetables grown in these areas even more bountiful and intense in flavor than in other parts of the Southern Mediterranean."

Amber Guinness has spent thirty years exploring the Tyrrhenian waters, from the Tuscan coast to Sicily and the Amalfi coast. She spends every summer on the tiny island of Salina. This new book is inspired by the markets and food of summer holidays by the beach. Guinness brings her lifelong connection to Italy together with her intuitive food, art, and knowledge of history.

Filled with delicious and achievable recipes, as well as sumptuous travel and food photography, Italian Coastal is a fusion of memoir, travelogue, and recipe book designed to transport readers to the sunny Mediterranean. 120 color illustrations
