Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Risotto with fresh peas, fava beans and zucchini (Risotto con piselli, fave e zucchini)

    • jammydodger on July 26, 2014

      Originally picked this recipe to use up courgettes and broad beans expected to arrive in our veg box. The courgettes never turned up, so were replaced with sliced mange tout. Easy and simple recipe, but what a faff risotto is with all that stirring. Meditative, my a**e, not with demanding children in the house. Still tasty, although I have to confess I was hungry a couple of hours later so perhaps better as a side dish rather than a main course.

Publishers Text

A new book from the Italian legend who taught Jamie Oliver all he knows about Italian cooking. Born just feet away from the sea on Italy's stunning Amalfi coast, chef, food writer, TV personality, and restaurateur Gennaro Contaldo learned from his parents how to seek out wild food free-diving for oysters, foraging for wild mushrooms, and missing school to go fishing. This adventurous spirit lived on throughout Gennaro's career in food and was what went on to inspire Jamie Oliver to call Gennaro his London dad. It was summed up here in this first, glorious collection of his favorite Italian recipes. This cookbook features photographs from Gennaro's childhood, alongside stunning food and travel photography. Over 100 recipes, and delightful personal recollections, share the secrets of Gennaro's love affair with Italian food and will inspire cooks of all abilities to taste the true flavors of the Italian coastline. Buon appetito!
