Bring the flavors of Northern Italy into your kitchen with the Cascina Spinasse cookbook, which celebrates Piemonte’s rich culinary traditions through the vision of Seattle’s acclaimed and beloved Piemonte restaurant, Spinasse. This beautifully curated collection explores the heart of Italian cooking through over 75 authentic, seasonally driven recipes. From their famous handmade tajarin pasta to the elegance of delicate semifreddo, each dish reflects the soulful cuisine of the region, blending time-honored techniques with modern refinement.

Organized into six inviting chapters—Bevande (cocktails), Antipasti, Primi (pastas and risottos), Secondi (meat, seafood, and vegetables), Contorni (sides), and Dolci (desserts)—the book offers step-by-step instructions, expert tips, and evocative stories behind the dishes. Whether you're crafting agnolotti from scratch or pairing local wines with your meal, this cookbook captures the warmth, hospitality, and craftsmanship that define Piemonte’s food culture. It's a must-have for home cooks, Italian food lovers, and anyone seeking to elevate their culinary skills with regional Italian fare. Written by Executive Chef Stuart Lane, who trained at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners in Costigliole d’Asti and now leads Spinasse and Artusi in Seattle, this cookbook bridges Italian tradition with Pacific Northwest passion. Chef Lane’s deep respect for Piemonte’s foodways and his expertise in handmade pasta shine through every page. The Cascina Spinasse cookbook is more than a recipe collection—it’s an invitation to cook with intention, savor every season, and experience the enduring beauty of Italian cuisine.
