La Cucina: The Regional Cooking of Italy

by The Italian Academy of Cuisine

Product ID: 0847831477-11-1

Fifty years ago, a group of Italian scholars gathered to discuss a problem: how to preserve traditional Italian cooking. They formed the Italian Academy of Cuisine to document classic recipes from every region. The academy’s more than seven thousand associates spread out to villages everywhere, interviewing grandmothers and farmers at their stoves, transcribing their recipes—many of which had never been documented before. This is the culmination of that research, an astounding feat—2,000 recipes that represent the patrimony of Italian country cooking. Each recipe is labeled with its region of origin, and it’s not just the ingredients but also the techniques that change with the geography. Sprinkled throughout are historical recipes that provide fascinating views into the folk culture of the past. There are no fancy flourishes here, and no shortcuts; this is true salt-of-the-earth cooking. The book is an excellent everyday source for easily achievable recipes, with such simple dishes as White Bean and Escarole Soup, Polenta with Tomato Sauce, and Chicken with Lemon and Capers. For ease of use there are four different indexes. La Cucina is an essential reference for every cook’s library.

Shopping Vintage Saves The World

Choosing vintage isn’t just a style statement — it’s a sustainable lifestyle. When you shop vintage clothing, retro fashion, and secondhand treasures, you help reduce textile waste, lower carbon emissions, and slow the fast fashion cycle. Every pre-loved piece keeps one more item out of landfills and conserves the resources needed to make something new. It’s eco-friendly fashion with timeless flair.

The vendors at Bliss work tirelessly to save beautiful treasures from the landfill while serving you curated looks to bring home.

When you come to checkout, you might also notice that we strive to use recycled materials as often as possible. Collectively, we bring in boxes and packing materials to be repurposed to protect your finds.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to shop sustainably and support local. Every time you pick a vintage find or a secondhand gem from our shop, you’re making a powerful statement — one that says you care about the planet and the community.

Your conscious choices help reduce waste, cut down on pollution, and breathe new life into quality pieces that deserve a second story. And by supporting a local business like ours, you're helping build a more resilient, connected, and creative neighborhood.

We’re so grateful to be part of your journey toward a more thoughtful and eco-friendly lifestyle. Thank you for making a difference — one beautiful piece at a time.
