A Taste of Umbria

London-based cookbook author Ursula Ferrigno grew up with one foot in England and the other in Italy, so she's never been interested in novelty for its own sake. "I don't have 'new' recipes," she says. "There's no need to improve upon what Italians have cooked for generations." Inspired by 10 years she spent in Umbria, these rustic seasonal dishes are soon to become your old favorites, too. Read on for recipes for Flatbread Stuffed with Cheese and Prosciutto, a classic snack; béchamel-laced Lasagne in Bianco; and a Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake inspired by Perugia's venerable Sandri café.
