Synopses & Reviews
Here are recipes that evoke Italian life at its most enticing. In this sumptuous cookbook, Gennaro Contaldo's passion for fresh, seasonal ingredients is shared with the enthusiasm for which he is famous. Born on Italy's Amalfi Coast, Gennaro later moved to London where he apprenticed with Antonio Carluccio. In 1999, he brought his love for Italian food to bear on his own London restaurant, where he is still the first to arrive each morning. In Passione, he shares the secrets of good Italian cooking in recipes that include Spaghetti with Fava Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, and Goat's Cheese; Grilled Lamb Cutlets Stuffed with Proscuitto and Herbs; Duck Breasts in Limoncello; Salad of Raw Artichokes, Asparagus, and Fennel; and Fresh Mint Panna Cotta Drizzled with Honey.
