Farm to Flame Cookbook

Our book Farm to Flame explores Italian peasant food - modernised and cooked over fire by celebrated chef Nicola Coccia. Join him on a journey from Italy to Australia, taking inspiration from nature and cooking without rules.

As a child in Italy, Nicola Coccia was surrounded by food. In a family of farmers, cheese makers, fishermen, and cooks, good food was not just nourishment, it was a structure by which to live and a way to understand and respect the cycles of nature and the importance of family. An affinity with food became a career, taking Nicola into the kitchens of some of Europe’s top restaurants, where he spent ten years sharpening his skills as a fine dining chef. In 2010, Nicola moved to Australia and spent five years cooking at Sydney institutions Otto, Ormeggio, and Quay.

Take part in nature, eat what grows around you, share it with family, and cook without rules with this limited signed chef’s edition.
