Angela Hartnett's Cucina: Three Generations of Italian Family Cooking

The book arrived and is in good condition as described. I am really pleased with the contents since while Angela describes her up bringing and life in Italy, which makes for an interesting read on its own, it also includes recipes for numerous Italian classics and many of her own family recipes such as a lovely one for a boozy tiramisu. If you like Italian food then this book is all you need as it provides something for everyone and finishes with a section entitled’ Basics’ so you know how to make the sauces, chutneys, stocks, vinaigrettes and even your starter (for bread making) so you can provide everything you need to follow the recipes in the book - wonderful.

Excellent cook book. Arrived on time, well packed and in very good condition.

Amazing story, beautiful book. Read it while eating delicious homemade winter soup in her Cafe Murano in St James's the other day, where I think the excellent Sam Williams (no relation) is the Executive Chef. Really good Sardinian wine alongside and a good read warmed up my entire week. The stories and pictures about her (Itallian-Welsh ) family in post-war England were very touching.

Nice book and story but would have liked more recipes

Really lovely book with great recipes that are reasonably easy to do. I've tried some already and very happy with them. The book is lovely, well presented with pictures and tips. Very happy with the condition of the book.

Bought as a gift and a great book

Chatty, family-oriented Italian home and restaurant cooking. Excellent recipes not too complicated.

Lots of good simple ideas for the home cook wishing to learn from an expert. Easy to follow recipes for all.

Common. Nothing you don’t already know.

Angela is a supreme chef and has earned herself the praise of Gordon Ramsey and other elite chefs the world over! This is great to read some of her personal history and family cooking and to have her explain how to do it with awesome pictures and detailed steps with some possible different ingredients is just great! I love pasta and to see how with a little effort and home made pasta how this is several steps in class above most Italian cookbooks! Highly recommended for the Italian cook or chef.

When I saw this book in a reading lounge, I couldn’t believe how it took me on a journey back to my own nonna’s and mamma’s kitchen. The recipes live up to the true style of home Italian cooking. I’m not one to buy recipe book, but this one is a must have.
