The first Osteria 16 cookbook. Eighty Italian recipes from Morten Kaltoft and Emil Alsbo: antipasti, pasta, risotto, polenta, pizza, bread, and desserts. 

The first Osteria 16 cookbook brings together, for the first time, a selection of the restaurant’s classic dishes, offering a glimpse into the kitchen and its approach to food. Created from a genuine desire to share and inspire, it is for everyone who appreciates simple Italian cooking and quality ingredients. Beyond serving as inspiration for others, the book is also a daily tool in the restaurant when menus are planned. Developed over a long period, it reflects seasonal ingredients and is a visual journey from their search for quality ingredients all around Italy. 

Osteria 16’s cookbooks are born from curiosity, passion, and a love of food. They aren’t made to follow strict rules, but to inspire. They are an ongoing project that intuitively gathers dishes, ideas, and stories – together forming a picture of what Osteria 16 represents. Each book grows from a genuine desire to share the joy of cooking – and to inspire others to create their own experiences in the kitchen.
