Italian Scraps

A trip across Italy on board a blue van which has been transformed into a mobile home, a central theme when cooking offal, known as the quinto quarto or fifth quarter: spleen, liver, lampredotto, pig's feet, entrails that are cooked with traditional recipes such as trippa alla romana or coratella brodettata. During ten months on the road, Valentina Raffaelli and Luca Boscardin explored the country in search of culinary traditions associated with offal, and describe it through drawings, photographs, and local recipes.
