Pikniq Information

Pikniq recipes, handmade and cooked with as much as possible zero miles food biological raw materials, originate from our ancestors' tradition and are newly rethought in a more modern fashion. Our customers' favorite ones have been published in the book La Cuoca Selvatica - Storie e Ricette per portare la Natura in Tavola, a landmark in Italy for the wild plant-based cooking enthusiasts. Do you want to taste a wild experience and learn to identify wild plants, berries, roots, barks, plant bulbs, seaweeds? Pikniq's offer evolves and offers gourmet wild plant-based dishes, original recipes, naturally seasonal, also revisiting some of italian traditional dishes and made using ancient production techniques like fermentation.
