LIGURIA:
Recipes & Wanderings

Liguria with its herbs hugging the sea cliffs, with its bays full of fish, with its ancient olive groves, grapevines, and orchards found in every village.

LIGURIA: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera is the first in a new series, developed in partnership with Belmond, offering an exclusive window into culinary communities across the globe. Featuring vivid photography by Laura Jane Coulson alongside essays by Andy Baraghani, Corrado Corti, Gilda Bruno, and Luca Cesari, the book explores key ingredients, people, and histories which make this rugged coastline so irresistible. From the world of Apartamento, an introduction by Ruth Rogers shares impressions gathered over decades of walking Liguria’s seaside paths, and two guest recipes from Fanny Singer and Max Rocha show how admires from afar might incorporate Ligurian cuisine into their kitchens.

LIGURIA presents 24 classic dishes inspired by the kitchens of Belmond’s hotels in Portofino: Splendido, set in the hills overlooking the bay, and Splendido Mare, down in the piazzetta. We invite you into a magical, transformative land; as Gilda writes, ‘In truth, no one knows Portofino like the sea. Its tides and roaring belly were the only witnesses to the village’s metamorphosis into the most evocative manifestation of Italy’s idealised lifestyle, nonchalant elegance, and sun-drenched, soothing leisure: la dolce vita’.

PENANG:
Recipes & Wanderings

‘The nights are long here, always with a hint of breeze coming from the sea, even on the stickiest of evenings. At 7 in the morning, at the height of the afternoon heat, or well past midnight, something is bound to be open somewhere on this island. Time has a different meaning here’.
—Tash Aw

Welcome to Penang: Recipes & Wanderings Around an Island in Malaysia, the second volume in Apartamento and Belmond’s new series. A cookbook as well as a cultural tour, Penang serves as your window to a unique culinary cosmos where spice-laden air meets the sea breeze and the hum of island life drums from markets to family kitchens. Chef André Chiang, culinary director of the Eastern & Oriental Express, along with chefs Malcolm Lee and Abby Lee, offer recipes for 23 quintessential Malaysian dishes—from tangy Assam Laksa to a sweet Three-layer Rice Pudding recipe by Kirthanna Naidu, and all the tasty bites in between. Vibrant photographs by Luo Yang and essays by Tash Aw, Anna Sulan Masing, and Kirthanaa Naidu guide readers across regional landmarks, from family-run nutmeg plantations to durian farms perched high on jungle-clad hills. Part invitation and part visual ode, this volume is a tribute to the island’s unforgettable mosaic of flavours.

CAMPANIA: Recipes & Wanderings

Campania: Recipes & Wanderings Across Italy’s Polychromatic Coast is the third instalment of our new series developed in partnership with Belmond. This latest edition features wildly vibrant photography by Lea Colombo, presenting this stretch of the Amalfi Coast in beautiful technicolour portraits. With essays by Elisa Carassai, Claudia Durastanti, Margo Schachter, and closed with a postcard afterword by Darina Allen, Campania offers 21 classic dishes, including many taken from the kitchens of Belmond’s hotel, Caruso. Interspersed with the hotel’s classic cuisine are guest recipes by Nina Clemente, Bernardo Costantino, and Salvatore Giugliano. From the narrow streets of Naples to towering Vesuvius, Campania is part invitation and part kaleidoscopic ode to the birthplace of pizza, Caprese salad, and larger-than-life Amalfi lemons.

El Bajío: Recipes & Wanderings Through Mexico’s Heartland is the fourth volume of our new series developed in partnership with Belmond (after Liguria, Penang, and Campania), offering an exclusive window into culinary communities around the world. This latest edition features atmospheric photography by Heather Sten, luxuriating in the striking colours and textures across lively markets and sweeping farmland. From the world of Apartamento, Enrique Olvera introduces this dynamic region tucked within Mexico’s lowlands, noting, ‘El Bajío has some surprise in store for everyone’, while food writer Alonso Ruvalcaba takes us through vineyards, an ecological farm, and on trips to harvest cactus and garambullo berries, as well as discovering how vibrant tortillas are stamped and cooked over open flames. Alongside these wanderings, this Mexican cookbook offers 24 delicious dishes and drinks, mainly taken from the Sazón cookery school at Belmond’s Casa de Sierra Nevada in San Miguel de Allende, alongside innovative contributions in Mexican gastronomy by guest chefs Daniela Soto-Innes, Fernanda Covarrubias, Yola Jiménez, and Daniel Camacho. From ornate ceremonial tortillas to inventive twists on tradition, El Bajío is part invitation and part evocative ode to the heart of Mexico.
