Originale is not just another recipe book. It is, in essence, a guide. A manual on how to do it like the Italians. The dozens of inspiring recipes within these pages are built from a handful of crucial ingredients that, if sourced correctly—as detailed in this book—can transport you directly to the kitchens of Rome, Naples, or Bologna via your own plate. Originale is lovingly curated to celebrate the enduring nature of Italian cuisine, its history, and culture. Buon appetito!
Founder of Viani Alimentari, and manager of Viani Importe GmbH, Remo Viani discovered the true flavors of Italy through the home cooked meals of his grandmother in Pietra Ligure. In the mid 1990s he quit his career in advertising to follow in his Italian father’s footsteps by importing regional delicacies to Germany, expanding and growing the business into shops and food festivals, and building on his passion for Italian food.
