30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASECracco in Galleria is the first book about one of Milan's most spectacular restaurants, housed in the iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Carlo Cracco, shaped by masters such as Alain Ducasse and Gualtiero Marchesi, runs a complete gastronomic universe here: restaurant, bakery, bar, wine cellar and a grandly decorated banquet hall with hand-painted wallpaper and views over the gallery. Together with head chef Luca Sacchi, he presents a contemporary interpretation of Italian cuisine where classics such as insalata russa and timballo are transformed into something entirely their own.
What sets this book apart is its collaboration with Toiletpaper, the creative agency founded by artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, known for its surreal, saturated and at times 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 wanting to understand what a modern Italian fine dining kitchen can be, and how a visual language can amplify the experience of food, this is an obvious choice.
Format: Hardcover. Pages: 320. Language: English.
