New Jamie Oliver cookbook to be released in July 2018
A new book by Jamie Oliver has been announced!
Jamie Cooks Italy: From the Heart of the Italian Kitchen will be published by Penguin Random House SA in July 2018.
From his early days working with Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo to his famous stint at the River Café, Italian food has influenced Jamie from the very start of his career. It’s a country that’s always been close to his heart.
Over the past two years Jamie has visited Italy whenever possible, travelling from the mountains in the north to the islands in the south, getting right to the heart of the food, people and places he loves so much. During this journey, Jamie noticed that despite the world-famous Italian passion for food, there’s been a decline in how beloved family recipes are being passed from generation to generation. Busy lives and an increasing dependence on technology means it’s often easier to cut corners, and those all important tips and decades of food knowledge are being lost. That’s where his latest book comes in.
Jamie Cooks Italy, to be published by Michael Joseph on 12 July 2018, contains more than 140 new recipes that not only celebrate Jamie’s great love of Italian food, but also acknowledge the importance of what the Italian matriarchs of the kitchen – the nonnas and the mammas – can teach us.
From Sicilian Artichokes to melt-in-the-mouth beef Stracotto, Salina Chicken and Baked Risotto Pie to Stuffed Focaccia and Amalfi Lemon Tart, Jamie Cooks Italy enables readers to recreate the true tastes of Italy at home.
Jamie says: ‘Whether it’s recipe principles, flavour combinations, tips or techniques, I’ve gathered all this incredible insight in order to share with you the true heart and soul of Italian food, expressed through fresh, achievable recipes in an accessible, modern way.
‘From quick fixes and simple dishes with just a handful of ingredients to more indulgent cooking for weekends and special occasions, this book will deliver big on flavour and comfort, helping you to create food that will transport you straight to Italy and – ultimately – make you feel very happy. Viva Italia!’
