Raviolivre: Le Tour du Monde d'un Fou de Raviolis
Shipping calculated at checkout
A global survey of stuffed dough, Raviolivre follows the humble ravioli across borders and centuries. Emmanuel Guillemain d’Echon traces the many forms this seemingly simple preparation takes, from the Caucasus to Central Europe, from Italy to India, revealing how cultures separated by geography share a deep affection for dough wrapped around filling.
Along the way, readers encounter khinkali from Georgia, pierogi from Poland, manti from Turkey, kasnudel from Austria, gyoza from East Asia, and many more regional variations. Each stop offers context, history, and explanation, showing how technique, migration, and local ingredients shape these parallel traditions.
More than a recipe collection, the book reads as a culinary travelogue: curious, informative, and occasionally playful. It’s an appealing volume for anyone interested in the shared grammar of world cuisines, and in how something as simple as flour and filling can tell a story.
Paperback. Color photographs throughout. In French.
