Valvona and Crolla is an Edinburgh institution, and rightly so. Many delicatessens and gourmet shops have sprung up over the years, but none compare to Valvona and Crolla on Elm Row. Nothing I have ever bought from there has been a banger (except from the exquisite Fonteluna sausage that is!). The staff are always warm and particularly knowledgable, friendly and helpful.
All of which to point out that i was expecting big things from this book. It doesn't disappoint. Mary Contini writes with a good sense of humour and a talent for relating food-anecdotes. It's a style that will be familiar to readers of her other books. But the difference with this one is that it is much more concertedly a 'cookbook', which means the test is in the recipes and there are loads of good ones from Roast Goose to Crab pasta to meatballs to delicious salt-cod, to hazelnut cake etc etc.
I highly recommend this BEAUTIFUL book.

It will sell to fans of the shop, but disappointed me -- too much space wasted on unhelpful colour photos, and the recipes I've tried have been dull.

Format:Hardcover
A delightful and pretty book with authentic and delicious Italian recipes - using ingredients that are easy to source in the UK. The recipes I've tried from the book so far have come-out restaurant quality and impressed my guests - so the quantities, temperatures and timings are reliable. Highly recommended.

Love Italian Food
This is a must for Italian foodies. I have bought 4 copies so far for me and Italian foodie friends. The recipes are great and not too fussy. Results are excellent.
