The Friuli Venezia Giuliani is often overlooked in the numerous Italian cookbooks on the market. Its cuisine incorporates Eastern European, Italian, and Austrian flavors that makes it very distictive.
About every ten years, someone discovers or rediscovers this area. Fred Plotkin's wonderful La Terra Fortunata released in 2001 was the first to 'discover' the cuisine of this region. In 2010, Elisabeth Antoine Crawford 'rediscovered' the cuisine in her Flavors of Friuli.
Now in 2020, Fiuli, does a wonderful job capturing the flavors, beauty, character, and individuals of this often overlooked area of Italy while adding a new perspective.
The chapter on wine was the first time I have seen the vineyards of this area talked about in detail. The following chapters tell the unique culinary story of this region through its outstanding recipes. A number of them are what I know as Mosiaco di Sapori Nostrani or 'Flavors of our land', usually a sauce or ragu that is a combination of locally sourced ingrediants served over polenta.
Friuli really is an outstanding book and a great addition to the culinary literature about this little known area of Italy. BTW, Lidia Bastianich grew up in this area so you know its food traditions have to be pretty solid.

Review
"[A] bighearted recipe collection . . . The food and wine covered are exciting and intriguing, and readers could not ask for more knowledgeable and enthusiastic guides."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This gorgeous book is Bobby and Lachlan in hardcover format--half wine, half food, but 100 percent passion for, dedication to, and love of the lesser-known region of Fruili--the place on which they based their pilgrimage-worthy restaurant Frasca in Boulder, Colorado. Between Bobby's in-depth and incredibly knowledgeable notes on the wines, grapes, sub-regions, and wineries and Lachlan's clearly explained tradition-with-a-twist recipes, you will be completely transported to Fruili . . . if you manage to hold yourself back from booking a flight immediately!"--Suzanne Goin, chef and author of Sunday Suppers at Lucques and The A.O.C. Cookbook "If a pilgrimage to Friuli was not already on your bucket list, there's no doubt it should be now. Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson's restaurant Frasca is a mandatory stop for food and wine lovers everywhere. And now with Friuli Food and Wine, the two have taken us along on an entertaining and scholarly journey to the inspirational roots of the restaurant, capturing the essence and magic of Friuli Venezia Giulia--its wine, its food, and its welcoming hospitality."--Danny Meyer, founder and CEO, Union Square Hospitality Group
"Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson credit Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy, as a place where they truly learned about hospitality. And I know from personal experience how dedicated they are to hospitality, having witnessed it firsthand at The French Laundry and at their Boulder restaurant Frasca. With its lyrical writing and glorious photography, Friuli Food and Wine reads like a love letter to the region, celebrating its rich culinary traditions and its wondrous pairings of wine and food. The best cookbooks don't just teach us about cooking; they take us places. Think of this book as an exhilarating journey, no passport required."--Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor, The French Laundry "I first discovered Frasca, my favourite restaurant in America, in 2008 whilst on tour with Rush . . . and so began an education and love affair with an underappreciated corner of Italy called Friuli Venezia Giulia. This exquisitely produced and passionately written book is a must-have for all lovers of good food and wine. Bobby, Lachlan, and Meredith along with the Frasca team have brought Friuli to life through these recipes, historical descriptions, and connections. It sparks the wanderlust and makes one hungry and thirsty to be there . . . quite an accomplishment."--Geddy Lee, bassist/vocalist of Rush

Beautiful book full of delicious inspiration
Reviewed in the United States on 27 August 2020Verified Purchase
I was so excited for this book - Frasca, in Boulder CO, is one of our favorite restaurants, and this book is filled with recipes from the restaurant, and the Fruili region of Italy that inspired the restaurant.
The photographs are beautiful - the book is a lovely addition to a kitchen shelf or coffee table, it is truly too pretty to stick in a cabinet or hide in a shelf full of books.
The roast pork and peaches made a nice celebration dinner for a recent family birthday, and I have made the beef ragu several times already.
Being able to pull off a version of Frasca's Peanut Butter Cup at home has made me a family hero, and it is well worth the extra effort.
Gorgeous book, and a great range of recipes that will keep me reaching for it again and again.

I had spent some time in Friuli and when i saw this book, I decided to get it. I have to admit the recipes are a bit challenging at least for me, but the book and the photographs are wonderful. Would look good on anybody's coffee table.

Incredible Cookbook
Reviewed in the United States on 18 August 2020Verified Purchase
Bobby and Lachlan do it again. They're able to transport you to a new world through the pages and recipes in this book. I am in awe of how beautifully designed this is and even if you can't cook everything inside, the artwork is fantastic and it transports you to a new world. Highly recommend!

Transported Back to Fruili
Reviewed in the United States on 30 December 2020Verified Purchase
Fruili is one of my favorite regions in Italy for all the reason, and more, highlighted in the beautiful book. This cookbook is a love letter to this amazing region. Each recipe is written with such thought and care, paying particular attention to the different landscape and terrain and how they relate to the recipe. The binding and overall look of the book will encourage you to add this to your coffee table collection, perhaps it will even welcome a conversation or two about the region.
