OBSERVER FOOD MONTHLY'S #1 FOOD BOOK OF THE YEAR
WINNER OF FORTNUM & MASON AWARDS DEBUT COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR
'This is a cookbook everyone should have in their kitchen. I will certainly have it in mine.' - Ruth Rogers
From  Joseph Trivelli, co-head chef of the world-renowned River Cafe, comes  the ultimate classic guide to laid-back, comforting Italian food.
Trivelli  first learned to cook watching his Italian grandmother transform a few  simple ingredients into something mouth-watering within their family  kitchen. In this, his first book, he brings up-to-date all the  traditional Italian food he grew up with alongside his own inventive  creations.
Featuring over 150 original recipes that cater for  quick dinners right up to family feasts, Joe's focus is on fewer  ingredients, exquisitely prepared. With chapters on pasta, fish, meat,  vegetables and baked dishes, these are recipes sympathetic to the home  cook - easy to throw together but look and taste incredible every time.
Beautifully designed with evocative photography throughout, this is the Italian cookbook every modern kitchen needs.
