R-Fvg is a collection of recipes written by the world's foremost chefs. Each recipe has been specially created using ingredients from the culinary traditions of Friuli Venezia Giulia. In designing the book, Swiss artist John M. Armleder has hidden the original recipes beneath a silvery film, drawing inspiration from scratch-and-win lotto cards. The result is an inventive, interactive game in which the reader discovers a world of fragrances and flavors associated with the traditional cuisine of the region. Printed in a limited edition as an artist multiple, a single copy of the book contains a winning symbol that entitles the finder to receive a gift consisting of a selection of wine and food specialties from Friuli Venezia Giulia. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, helping needy children around the world.

A strange book, strange like strange fruit, this volume is an artist project inspired by the 19 surviving indigenous wines found in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region once rich with hundreds of species of vine. Bound in the steel of fermentation vats, its pages filled with labels in 19 languages, painted in grape-based inks, this limited-edition book is one to be leafed through while humored by deep cellars.
