Raviolivre (French edition): The Crazy World Tour of Ravioli. Routes, Recipes, and Techniques

Raviolivre is a true ode to the art of stuffed pasta. Emmanuel Guillemain d'Echon takes you on a gastronomic and cultural world tour, discovering ravioli and their countless variations.

The author, inspired by the Chinese jiaozi prepared by his grandmother, embarked on an exciting journey across continents to gather traditional recipes and the stories surrounding ravioli. At each stop, he immerses himself in family kitchens to uncover the secrets of these small stuffed treasures.

A captivating culinary journey:

• In China, discover the jiaozi with pork and fresh herbs.
• In Italy, savor the ricotta and spinach ravioli, a timeless classic.
• In Georgia, taste the khinkalis, generously spiced.
• From Quebec to the Andes, explore lesser-known ravioli like Québécois plottes or Argentinian empanadas.

Each recipe is told with a personal touch and accompanied by travel anecdotes, making this book as warm as it is informative. Wheat, rice, buckwheat or yam pasta, fillings of meat, vegetables, fruits, or cheese: all facets of this universal dish are explored with love and precision.
