Gennaro Contaldo is coming to Dulwich!

[Village Books]

I'm hungry just typing this - Gennaro Contaldo is coming to Dulwich on Tuesday 21st February to celebrate the publication of his new book Gennaro's Cucina: Hearty Money-Saving Meals from an Italian Kitchen

Gennaro Contaldo’s warmth, Italian spirit and sense of fun have led him to be one of the UK’s most-loved chefs. He is renowned for being a mentor to Jamie Oliver and teaching him, with Carluccio, everything Jamie knows about Italian cooking. In 1999, he opened Passione in London, which was awarded Best Italian restaurant in 2005.

In his new cookbook, Gennaro takes us on a culinary journey of regional basic Italian staples and turns them into beautiful meals. With tips and ideas of what to do with leftovers, Gennaro helps home cooks squeeze maximum use from the ‘cucina povera’ ethos, turning humble ingredients into nourishing feasts without taste sacrifice. Encouraging an ethos of zero waste, Gennaro’s Cucina ensures that every part of the ingredient, and your budget, is put to good culinary use.

‘Proper old-school classics to use up every scrap.’ Jamie Oliver

Gennaro will be chatting to author and journalist Felicity Cloake and demonstrating some recipes from his new book.
