About the Book This new hardback release follows Gino D'Acampo's journey down Italy's eastern seaboard, exploring the food culture of five distinct Adriatic regions. Each chapter reflects local produce and tradition, from Veneto's rice and seafood dishes to Puglia's olive oil, vegetables and handmade pasta shapes. Gino draws on decades of restaurant experience and his reputation as one of Britain's best-loved Italian chefs to present recipes that are approachable without losing authenticity. Alongside the food, the book is full of evocative photography of markets, coastlines and family kitchens, giving readers a real sense of place alongside the practical cooking content. The collection includes the dishes cooked during the accompanying ITV television series, plus additional recipes developed especially for the book, so viewers of the show and newcomers alike will find plenty to cook. Recipes span starters, fresh fish and shellfish, meat dishes, pasta and risotto, vegetable sides and simple puddings, catering for weeknight meals as well as more ambitious weekend cooking. Clear step-by-step instructions and accessible ingredient lists make the book suitable for confident beginners and experienced home cooks alike, while the regional structure gives more experienced cooks scope to explore lesser-known Italian dishes beyond the classics.
