Giorgio Locatelli Knihy

Giorgio Locatelli started helping out in the family restaurant at age five. He was raised in Corgeno in northern Italy, close to the Swiss border and Milan. Almost everything his family ate and drank was produced locally. He was told by the head chef at his first real Italian restaurant job that he would never make it as a chef. His grandmother, who shared her great love of food with him, said Giorgio would have to go back and show him. And so he did. After getting suspended from cooking school because of kissing a girl on the school's steps, he went on to become a greatly admired chef. Made in Italy is a 624-page, vibrantly illustrated book full of Locatelli's recipes, insight and historical detail about Italian food. He combines food narrative with hands-on expertise of a top chef. He peppers the book 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.

Restaurant entrepreneur Tony Allan and Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli bring the vivacity and humour of their twelve-year friendship to a brilliant partnership in the kitchen, combining a professional passion for the best of fresh, affordable ingredients with their home lives amongst family and good friends.

Giorgio Locatelli ist fasziniert von der Vielseitigkeit und vor allem von der „Simplizität“ der Inselküche: »Das Wesentliche sind die Zutaten selbst. Die Leistung der Köche besteht nicht darin, Zutaten kreativ zu transformieren, sondern ihr Eigenaroma – auf einfachste Weise – zur Geltung zu bringen.« Das ist Italien - Giorgio Locatelli präsentiert in diesem Werk Siziliens Kochkunst so, wie er sie liebt: klassisch, pur und einfach.
