Italy and its wonderful flavors have always had a major
influence on Jamie Oliver's food and cooking. In Jamie's
Italy, he travels this famously gastronomic country paying
homage to the classic dishes of each region and searching
for new ideas to bring home. The result is a sensational
collection of Italian recipes, old and new, that will
ensure that Italy's influence reaches us all. Italy has inspired Jamie Oliver throughout his career. His
ambition has always been to travel across the country on a
quest to capture the very essence of Italian cooking --
and to produce the best and simplest Italian cookbook for
everybody anywhere to enjoy. Jamie's Italy is the result of that journey -- and it's a
land of plenty. As well as providing more than 120 brand-
new recipes for everything from risotto to roasts and
spaghetti to stews, structured as traditional trattoria
menus, Jamie takes you all over Italy to cook with and
learn from the real masters of Italian cuisine: the
locals. Far from the standard "lemons and olives" version
of Italian cooking, Jamie's Italy is a cookbook by the
people for the people. From Sicily to Tuscany, it's about
the local fishermen, family bakers, and, of course,
the "Mamas," sharing their recipes and the tips that have
gone into their cooking for generations. But it's not only
mouthwatering food that Jamie brings back home: it's also
the spirit that makes cooking and eating absolutely
central to family life, whichever part of Italy you're in. Bursting with the warmth and hospitality of real family
life, this is both asuperbly accessible cookbook and a
unique travelogue and diary, in which you'll find the
authentic flavor of Italy and the people who live there.
If you love quality food prepared with genuine passion --
you'll never want to leave Jamie's Italy.
