An instant classic I bought this book on a whim whilst on holiday and now find myself reading it from cover to cover. The whole concept is to put the food and the chef in context; the book reads like no other cookery book I have come across.

A 'must buy' Inspirational. One of the best cooking books I've bought in a long time. The combination of stories, recipes and product information sets the book apart from others.

I'm eagerly working through the recipes, all of which so far have been winners. Buy it now, you won't be disappointed.
The passion for food This book is great.
Not only the reciepes are very good, not only the paper quality is excellent as well as the photos, it is the narrator who makes this book great.
Giorgio put all his love for italian cuisine on this. This is not just a recipe book, this is a book about Italy and its history, it's a book about food and nutrition, it's a volume with tricks that only italian grandmothers know.
I can only highly reccomend this book: you won't go wrong with it.
The best food book in my collection This is not just a book of recipes - its a book about italian food, with recipes to punctuate the information. I have many recipe books, and this is by far the best so far.....
well written, well presented, and the first recipe book I ve actually taken to read in bed.
HIGHLY recommended.
