The Missoni Family Cook Book

Missioni’s cuisine and entertainment are as singular as their fashion. Whether they are serving a meal for 20 or 200, all feature family recipes curated for the season and occasion. These legendary recipes can now be shared thanks to Francesco Maccapani Missoni and his The Missoni Family Cookbook, compiled with the help of his grandmother Rosita and his mother Angela Missoni. The foreword was written by Quincy Jones who believes that “Missoni food makes you smile.”

The Missoni Cook Book published by Assouline, chronicles the family’s culinary tradition, making the delicious, well-guarded family recipes, passed down from generation to generation, available to the home cook for the first time. Lush and informal at the same time, a Missoni feast is not just a kaleidoscope of style, it’s a smorgasbord of tastes, scents, and colors.

“At home, we only use strictly seasonal, fresh, and locally available ingredients, and we grow most of the herbs and vegetables in our garden.”

—Francesco Maccapani Missoni
