Contaldo, the chef at Passione in London, also works with Jamie Oliver in his Italian restaurants. Here, he provides a list of essential ingredients—meat, dairy, produce, and cupboard staples. The full-color photos and easy-to-follow recipes will inspire cooks new to Italian cuisine, and a variety of dishes for both family meals (e.g., Penne with Vegetables and Chickpeas; Roast Baby Chicken with New Potatoes) and dinner guests (e.g., Grilled Caprino Cheese with Plums) provides novices with an arsenal of ideas. Highly recommended for home cooks interested in Italian food.
