Opening with an extensive guide to preparing antipasti and culminating
in a mouth-watering selection of desserts - via soups, risotto, pasta,
fish and meat dishes - Giorgio Locatelli's masterpiece is the must-have
contemporary Italian food bible, seamlessly combining the historical
insight of a food writer with the hands-on expertise of a top chef.
Peppered with evocative anecdotes and outspoken observations on the
state of modern food, Giorgio Locatelli's definitive and universally
celebrated compendium is a delight to read and cook from. '“Made in
Italy“ is quite simply the perfect book…Buy this and you'll never want
to look at another Italian cookbook again.' Gordon Ramsay, The Times
'This book is nothing short of a masterpiece.' Nigel Slater
'I love Giorgio's book. It's full of his love of food; this is one of
my favourite books.' Kate Winslet
'Packed with delicious recipes, many from his restaurant, and the
reminiscences from his life, it is the ultimate gift for anyone
interested in Italian food.' Telegraph
'”Made in Italy“, by the flamboyant Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli, is
such a fashionable combination of charming anecdotes and stories about
his family that could double as recipes.' Daily Telegraph
'A compendium that should replace everything but Marcella Hazan on your
Italian shelf.' Kate Colquhoun, Daily Telegraph
'Large and handsome…most of the recipes are painstaking and lucid, and
the context embraces Giorgio, his family and professional life, while
guiding us effortlessly through some of the riches of Italian
foodstuffs.' Tom Jaine, Guardian
'This book is, like all the best Italians, good-looking and just a bit
irreverent. Even so, it would be a shame to leave this one on the coffee
table, rather than take it into the kitchen where it belongs.' Time Out
'Giorgio Locatelli's “Made in Italy” is a beautiful, evocative book,
looking not just at traditional Italian ingredients and local recipes
but also at local traditions and memories…deserves to become a classic.'
