Product Description
One of the brightest talents to have emerged on the UK food scene in the past few years, Angela Hartnett has been been described by Gordon Ramsay as 'the new Elizabeth David'. As one of the few female British chefs to hold a Michelin star, her innovative cooking has been commended by reviewers and fellow chefs alike.
But Angela's 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.
With stunning food photography by Jonathan Lovekin, a foreword from Gordon Ramsay, and 140 evocative and accessible recipes, Angela Hartnett's Cucina brings the warmth of the Italian family kitchen to your home.

Great recipes and edu-taining!,
By Patricia (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angela Hartnett's Cucina: Three Generations of Italian Family Cooking (Hardcover)
Bought this book last week and already getting it dirty with olive oil, flour...
Being a Michelin starred chef one might think Angela would have a book of highly complicated recipes and gloss, but it isn't. All bases are covered from soups and starters to puddings and snacks. The recipes are clear and never more than a page, very similar to River Cafe Easy. The difference here though is that Angela is in touch with Italy not just through cooking but through family. She has a great easy going tone and together with her heritage makes it all much more interesting, informative and personal. Little stories and notes place the food in context, adding to the great recipes. I'm clearly a fan but I'm really enjoying it and I think if you like Italian food and want it more accessible than Locatelli's huge Made in Italy or more personality than the River Cafe books then this is the one to spill your olive oil over.

Alittle Disappointed,
By
This review is from: Angela Hartnett's Cucina: Three Generations of Italian Family Cooking (Hardcover)
I bought this book after seeing Angela on this morning. The first recipe I tried did not work out. I contacted the publishers and they confirmed that yes there was a problem. The lady I spoke to said she would speak to Angela and in all new editions the problem would be put right. I still do not have the correct recipe and the publishing company have emailed Angela several times and not had a reply. I'm still waiting. I am quite disappointed at this response because this book is not cheap.
