Cracco in Galleria is the first book about one of Milan's most spectacular restaurants, housed within the iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Carlo Cracco, shaped by masters such as Alain Ducasse and Gualtiero Marchesi, runs an entire gastronomic universe here: restaurant, bakery, bar, wine cellar and a lavishly decorated banquet hall with hand-painted wallpaper and views over the gallery. Together with head chef Luca Sacchi, he presents a contemporary take on Italian cuisine, where classics such as insalata russa and timballo are transformed into something entirely his own.
What sets this book apart from the crowd is its collaboration with Toiletpaper, the creative agency founded by artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, known for their surreal, saturated and occasionally provocative visual world. The result is a cookbook that is as much a work of art as a recipe archive, offering a glimpse into a restaurant culture where aesthetics and technique go hand in hand. For anyone who wants to understand what modern Italian fine dining can be, and how visual expression can heighten the experience of food, this is an obvious choice.
