Italian breakfast is a volume dedicated to “the experience of breakfast”, exploring a phenomenon that has transformed a daily ritual into a symbol for an entire country: the Italian breakfast.
This Bullipedia volume analyses breakfast from differing points of view, including humanist, economic, scientific, philosophical perspectives, etc. It details how breakfast can change according to geographical location or the place of consumption, examining the factors that have had an impact on the many developments and articulations of “the first meal of the day” throughout history.
This book is particularly aimed at enterprising professionals in the hospitality sector: baristas, restaurateurs and pastry chefs. However, thanks to its accessible language, it will be of value to all food enthusiasts.

The book – with its large format, iconic cover and hyper-realistic photographs in bold colours – published by Giunti, takes stock of the history of breakfast and celebrates the Italian breakfast, with its regional, traditional or more creative variants. It is not a recipe book, but a conceptual text about breakfast: how it was conceived, its history, the different variations involved.
Gambero Rosso

Breakfast is the first meal of the day all over the world. It is a ritual shared since ancient times that has peculiarities in each historical moment and undergoes small evolutions and modifications. While it used to be a time for the whole family to get together, this is no longer the case.
