The recipes in this cookbook reflect his knowledge of regional Italian cooking and is packed with 150 recipes.Īs is described in the book, the recipes in this latest books are the kind of recipes you would cook in your own kitchen. Though he now lives primarily in London, chef Locatelli grew up in Lombardy and has a second home in one of my favorite regions, Puglia. Since I have enjoyed two of his earlier books, and I have a vast collection of Italian cookbooks, I was pleased to accept a copy. I was contacted by his publisher recently asking if I’d like a review copy of his book. Try again later.Giorgio Locatelli is the chef/owner of Locanda Locatelli in England.
Now excuse me, I must get back to my food porn. I also intend on playing with some of the recipes and will probably refer to them more than once in the coming weeks… And now I have it back (thanks Mum and Dad!) and am rereading it from scratch. So it was that the book was left behind, but never forgotten. After all, I only had 20kg to move my enitre life across the continent, and the book must weigh 5kg all by itself! This book came out quite some time ago, and I was forced to leave it in Scotland when I first moved to Italy.
Most cookbooks are a mere collection of recipes, purely functional and not particularly interesting.Įvery once in a while however a cook book comes out which is far more than this… It tells a story, recounts the history of a nation, evokes emotions, sights, smells and tastes and inspires you to recreate the dishes not only for their flavour but for their historical sense and emotional significance too.
