Description: An intoxicating tour of Italian Lidos with lush photography, recipes and more, from some of the most sought-after beach clubs in Italy.
Brightly colored umbrellas dance in the wind, above matching sun beds in the same bold hues. The crystal blue water shimmers in the background and gently laps against the pebble beaches. Bronzed, glistening bodies dot the landscape. Like most things Italian, there is an art to a day at the beach. Lido is a transporting exploration of the history, culture, and food of Italian beach clubs. Part 1 invites you to the clubs along the whole of the Italian coast. Part 2 shares over 60 recipes from appertivi to dolci. Living la dolce vita has never been easier with recipes for Pinsa with Ricotta and Mortadella, Lobster Risotto, Puglian Bruschetta with Marinated Summer Squash, and Pavlova with Fior Di Latte Cream.- A Journey through Italy's Beach Clubs

Review Quotes: "Flipping through the pages of Lido will make you want to head to the Italian coast immediately, your only goal to find a rocky cove or seaside village lined with umbrellas and sunbeds, just waiting for you to stake your claim. But if putting your life on hold to lounge and swim while snacking on marinated olives and sipping on spritzes is an impossibility, Lido's simple summery recipes, which capture the spirit of the magically alluring Italian beach culture, will allow for an escape right at home." -Alexandra Stafford, author of the New York Times bestselling Pizza
