Made in Italy: Food and Stories (2nd Edition) - Authentic Italian Recipes & Culinary Traditions | Perfect for Home Chefs & Food Lovers

Here is what the publisher tell us about this book: 

In this exquisitely designed and photographed volume, Britain's favorite Italian chef brings forth the work of a lifetime: combining old Locatelli family stories and recipes with the contemporary must-have dishes from his celebrated London restaurants.

“I am an Italian chef who has cooked in Paris and come of age in London,” says Giorgio Locatelli. “Innovative, imaginative food is what people expect from me, but everything I do has its roots in classical, regional Italian cooking.”

This is the book that fans of Locatelli have been waiting for ever since he first made his name at Zafferano. The recent opening of Locanda Locatelli, widely regarded as one of the most exciting restaurants in London, has fueled interest in this master chef.

Whether he is reminiscing about the dishes of his native Lombardy, suggesting a starter combining the simplest and freshest ingredients, or explaining how to make the ultimate risotto, Locatelli transports the reader into his own kitchen to savor the real tastes of Italy.

Full of the insight and historical detail you might expect from a food writer, combined with the hands-on expertise of a top chef, and peppered with evocative stories, and funny and often outspoken observations on the state of food today, this is the contemporary Italian food bible, from the acknowledged master of modern Italian cooking.
