Written by Cristina Ferrare and published by disruptive publishing house and global eBookstore Legible, My Model Kitchen - Volume 1: Pasta is an innovative cookbook offering a one-of-a-kind immersive experience and an AI Sous Chef at your fingertips.

Whether it's amid the rolling hills of Tuscany where grapevines embrace the horizon, or the allure of the Amalfi coast where the scent of lemons lingers in the air, the culinary soul of Italy lives on. It’s a sacred place where recipes have been cherished like family secrets, passed down generations from nonna to mama and from father to daughter.  

In the heart of this gourmet haven, each dish tells a story. One simply cannot escape the enchantment of Italian delicacies like pasta, meticulously crafted and imbued with a symphony of flavors, or pizza that has become a culinary icon representing the very essence of Italian comfort and innovation.  

As these dishes grace tables, whether in a rustic trattoria or a contemporary restaurant, they evoke a sense of community, shared stories, and the everlasting connection between food and memory.  

Now, imagine bringing the sacred essence of Italian culinary heritage into your very own kitchen. In today’s modern age, digital cookbooks are the ideal way to bridge the gap between centuries-old traditions and contemporary convenience and accessibility. Cristina Ferrare’s My Model Kitchen - Volume 1: Pasta, created in collaboration with digital publishing pioneer, bookstore and reading platform Legible, is the perfect example of a cookbook that does just that. 

With an illustrious background as an iconic American supermodel and actress, Ferrare was also a TV show host on major TV networks. She is the New York Times best-selling author of, Okay So I Don’t Have a Headache, and has also authored a memoir, Realistically Ever After, as well as several other cookbooks, including Big Bowl of Love—also the name of her cooking segments on the Oprah Winfrey Network.  

In her new book, Ferrare personally shares the secrets of her culinary prowess, cultivated under the loving guidance of her beloved Nona. The value of this book lies not only in the delectable recipes it details, but also in the rich tapestry of stories woven into each dish. My Model Kitchen is a journey through time and tradition and a celebration of the intersection between family, culture, and the joy of good food.
