Heritage Chef Will Horowitz of Duck's Eatery Talks Rare Italian Cookbooks with Italy In Bocca 🍅

Chef Will Horowitz of Duck's Eatery is my hero. He’s an award winning author of heritage techniques, can smoke or cure nearly anything, and has a philosophy about good food and good living that is exemplary. He is a mad scientist and food magician, and pulled a Charlie Chaplin having once entered a beet he cured as prosciutto into a charcuterie contest and took second place. He also made the most delicious sandwich I’ve ever tasted (see below), so I was super jazzed to interview him about Italy In Bocca, a series of 20 cardboard bound, illustrated Italian cookbooks printed by Il Vespro in 1976. These books are magical, from their story, to their art, and right down to their amazing, unique and delicious recipes. They have been an inspiration to us, and have connected us to some of the most fantastic people, bringing us together and closer to a country that has given us so much, Italy. This is an ongoing interview series with chefs, celebrities, epicureans, and just interesting people, to learn what these books mean to them, how their relationship with food has changed during the quarantine, and to just check in and get a bit inspired.

The project is www.italyinbocca.com 🍅
