Product Description
Product Description
Gino D'Acampo is passionate about Italian food. He is equally passionate about how to cook, but also believes that you don't need hundreds of ingredients and complicated haute cuisine techniques to achieve fantastic food. His maxim is minimum effort, maximum food, and if you cook the 100 recipes in his book, following his tips, NOT breaking his 10 rules - such as not mixing onion and garlic - and joining in his enthusiasm and humour, you will soon learn how to make great Italian food. This is a cookbook filled with modern Italian food, infused with Gino's style and encompassing the myriad influences that have pervaded the country's cuisine.
About the Author
Gino D'Acampo was born in southern Italy, inheriting his grandfather's love of cooking. He has worked his way through the kitchens of Europe, arriving in England in 1995 and is now the owner of a leading supplier of Italian ingredients to the UK as a well as a beachside restaurant in Naples. Gino is a popular chef on TV shows including Saturday Cooks, Daily Cooks, Good Food Live and Ready Steady Cook. He has also braved the jungle in 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!' with fellow stars Katie Price (Jordan), Jimmy White and George Hamilton. Gino is author of Buonissimo!' and 'The I Diet' both published by Kyle Cathie.

Format:Paperback
This is a great cook book. Not only do you have the wonderful cheekiness of Gino but the recipes are tasty, not too difficult and unlike some, you can buy all the ingredients at your local supermarket or high street. What I love is that Gino isn't afraid to cook things with cheese & cream - a good thing to see after all those healthy eating books to hit the shelves recently! There are also healhier options but it's nice to be given the choice. The veggie section is also really good. I'm not a vegetarian but I will definately be trying some of the recipes out as they look delicious. Buy it - it's fantastico!!

As one of Gino's fellow countrymen I am always a bit cagey about books on Italian cuisine, but this is an excellent book with some imaginative recipes which should really give you a flavour of Italian cooking at its best. The ingredients are easy to source and quick to put together. His tips are extremely useful too. What a pity Gino doesn't have his own restaurant!

Gino's book demonstrates how simple it is to produce excellent italian cooking very easily. All the ingredients are easy to get and use. It's good to see that he doesn't just focus on the traditional pasta dishes, but brings a wide variety of mediteranean flavour to your kitchen. I particularly love his endorsemment of tinned tuna & salmon - no filleting or gutting. Great and easy to use with flavoursome recipes. Fantastico!!!

Gino's Fantastico
Gino is a natural entertainer and I love watching him on TV and he also never disappoints in the written word. Even at my age I can still be smitten.
