Italians have a special word for the fit of drowsiness that occurs after eating a large quantity of food: Abbiocco. Unlike the kind of sleepiness you experience before going to bed, abbiocco is an invitation to abandon yourself to a pure state of relaxation, or to shrug off your responsibilities for a brief time before returning to the real world.
Abbiocco is a food and lifestyle journal by Sydney chef Siân Redgrave that features stories, recipes and photos from friends. Each edition of Abbiocco will feature Siân’s take on a topic, country or cuisine. Abbiocco is Siân’s take on life through food, music, fashion, art, culture and history.
