Missoni Family Cookbook

Product Information

Communicating this sense of reality has always been important for the label and is becoming even more so as it looks to the future.

Of course, another way to ensure your guests mix is to lay on a buffet. That’s the winning formula of the family’s beloved Milan Fashion Week gatherings, the antithesis of a stereotypical fashion party where tiny, joyless canapes circle the room. “It’s easy and convivial. People can come and go, and nobody ever feels stressed about having to sit next to anybody they don’t want to talk to.”

We call her Angela Teller, the sister of Juergen [Teller],” said Maccapani Missoni, who never misses an opportunity to tease his mother.

When the pudding reaches room temperature, cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until cold throughout. In a pan over medium-high heat, melt the remaining butter. As soon as the butter starts bubbling, add the eggs in batches, taking care not to crowd them, and fry them. Repeat until all of the eggs have been fried. Remove from the heat. Step 6

Some recipes are attached to different family members, like Rosita Missoni’s mini pizza recipe or the calf liver that Ottavio Missoni used to cook for the family. There’s also a section dedicated to party food, which highlights all the desserts the Missonis bake for family celebrations.

The imagery of the food was also shot to showcase what a typical Missoni dinner table looks like, complete with mismatched, colorful Missoni china, printed tablecloths and fresh flowers.

p>Francesco Maccapani Missoni is the son of Angela Missoni and Marco Maccapani and the grandson of Tai and Rosita Missoni, founders of the eponymous fashion brand. He was born in 1985 and grew up in the countryside outside Milan, surrounded by his boisterous extended family. He studied architecture in college and is passionate about design, film, and contemporary art. He now heads a startup based in Milan and is, as they affectionately say, una buona forchetta (a gourmand). Food and cooking are his passions, with a strong emphasis on family traditions, sustainable sources, local produce, and fresh seasonal ingredients.

To serve, firmly hold a plate over the mold and carefully flip it over. The budino should slide out easily; if it does not, dip the mold in hot water for 5 to 10 seconds, then flip it. The Missoni family lives life in color. They didn’t just revolutionize knitwear; they forged a lifestyle that, like their fashion, blends elegance with enthusiasm and spontaneity with sophistication. Missoni style is recognized and admired all over the world and is collected by fashionistas and museums alike. This same streak of easy glamour also inspires Missoni family’s entertaining, and their dinner parties have become one of the most coveted invitations of fashion week. Lush and informal at the same time, a Missoni feast is not just a kaleidoscope of style with four generations of family wearing Missoni — it’s a kaleidoscope of tastes, scents, and colors. So when Angela Missoni eschewed models for the brand’s Spring 2010 campaign, and asked friend and collaborator Juergen Teller to shoot three generations of Missonis instead, it made perfect sense. Natural ambassadors of the brand’s approachable, real-life appeal, Teller’s portraits showed Angela’s son Francesco goofing around with giant gamberi, Margherita grinning over her empty plate, and co-founder and Grandpa Ottavia generously offering up a bottle of red. Eating well is a luxury,” says Angela Missoni, the brand’s long-time creative director, from her home in Lombardy, where her own organic kitchen garden is currently planted with everything from lettuce and aubergine to her favourite cuor di bue tomatoes. “You can’t turn on the television without a cookery show being on,” she says. “It’s all part of the growing focus on wellbeing that has been gaining momentum over the last decade or so.” Gabriela Hearst AW18 at Cafe Altro Dolce & Gabbana x Smeg Divina Cucina oven

Drain and individually plate the asparagus, counting 5 stalks per person. Generously cover the lower half of the asparagus with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Step 4 The iced coffee fuelling the pre-show frenzy at the Missoni headquarters on Saturday was being served in jewel-toned goblets, in keeping with the colourful history of the house, but for the anniversary collection Angela “went looking for neutral colours that weren’t beige”, taking inspiration from vintage fabrics she photographed on a visit to Peru earlier this year. She has put together a soft blend of sand, pale blue, pearly white and dusky pink for the catwalk. The book offers a very personal look into the life of the Missonis and it comes at a time when the family is readying to celebrate a series of big milestones: “Two weeks ago was my parents’ wedding anniversary, they would be celebrating 65 years of marriage. To have something so personal, like a souvenir book, come out close to their marriage anniversary is very special,” said Angela Missoni, who marked 20 years at the helm of the company last year and is also planning the brand’s big 65th anniversary celebrations in September.Her two grown-up daughters, Margherita and Teresa, are both working in the fashion industry. “So far, I feel helped, I feel supported,” says Angela of the new business structure. “Also, you know, we still own a majority stake.” At a time when brands are putting more and more value into lifestyle beyond fashion, Missoni is at an advantage, having always embodied the concept of a lifestyle brand. In a small pan over medium heat, melt 5 tablespoons of the butter until very hot. Pour it over the Parmigiano-Reggiano and asparagus, melting the cheese. Step 5
