***************************************************************************************************
Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett’s innovative cooking has been commended by reviewers and fellow chefs alike.
But her real inspiration comes from the food she grew up with – the classic dishes that she learned at her Italian grandmother’s side. This is a unique collection of the family recipes that Angela has nurtured and developed over the years, and a celebration of the fantastic tastes, aromas and textures of Italian cooking that she loved from childhood.
The freshness and richness of Italy’s food shine through in Angela’s recipes – in traditional rustic dishes like rabbit pappardelle, aubergine parmigiana and wild mushroom risotto. Alongside such classic Italian peasant fayre are refined dishes including spaghetti with lobster, Mackerel tart with olive tapenade and pigeon stuffed with pancetta and dates, and delectable desserts such as Figs in red wine. But, as always for Angela, home is where the heart is, evidenced in the likes of Auntie Rosina’s walnut cake and her mother’s lemon meringue tart.
This heartfelt and touching cookbook, interwoven with stories from Angela’s unbringing, is a wonderful way to bring a slice of authentic Italy into your home.

Chatty, family-oriented Italian home and restaurant cooking. Excellent recipes not too complicated.
by J. Hay
Really lovely book with great recipes that are reasonably easy to do. I’ve tried some already and very happy with them. The book is lovely, well presented with pictures and tips. Very happy with the condition of the book.

Amazing story, beautiful book. Read it while eating delicious homemade winter soup in her Cafe Murano in St James’s the other day, where I think the excellent Sam Williams (no relation) is the Executive Chef. Really good Sardinian wine alongside and a good read warmed up my entire week. The stories and pictures about her (Itallian-Welsh ) family in post-war England were very touching.

Lots of good simple ideas for the home cook wishing to learn from an expert. Easy to follow recipes for all.

A hefty tome that at first appearance seems to be between one third and one half blank paper. Two lines of instruction and three ingredients given half a page for example. A bit disappointed so far but will dip in further. I may well be giving straight to the charity shop.
