Gino D'Acampo is passionate about Italian food. He is equally passionate about how to cook, but also believes that you don't need hundreds of ingredients and complicated haute cuisine techniques to achieve fantastic food. His maxim is minimum effort, maximum food, and if you cook the 100 recipes in his book, following his tips, NOT breaking his 10 rules - such as not mixing onion and garlic - and joining in his enthusiasm and humour, you will soon learn how to make great Italian food. This is a cookbook filled with modern Italian food, infused with Gino's style and encompassing the myriad influences that have pervaded the country's cuisine.
