Product Description:
Giorgio Locatelli started helping out in the family restaurant at age five. He was raised in Corgeno in northern Italy, close to the Swiss border and Milan. Almost everything his family ate and drank was produced locally. He was told by the head chef at his first real Italian restaurant job that he would never make it as a chef. His grandmother, who shared her great love of food with him, said Giorgio would have to go back and show him. And so he did. After getting suspended from cooking school because of kissing a girl on the school's steps, he went on to become a greatly admired chef.
Made in Italy is a 624-page, vibrantly illustrated book full of Locatelli's recipes, insight and historical detail about Italian food. He combines food narrative with hands-on expertise of a top chef. He peppers the book with evocative stories and funny and often outspoken observations on the state of food today. This is the contemporary Italian food bible, from the acknowledged master of modern Italian cooking.

I really love this book. I have watched the tv show with Tony and Giorgio on BBC food. Giorgio have collected the heart and soul of Italian cooking in this book. I would recommend it to all who like the Italian cusine.
It has small lite dishes to the more complex dinner partys. For all who love great food this is a must.
Ciao from The Norwegian Cook.

If you are interested in Italian cooking there are simpler books out there. This book is too advanced. The recipes are not accessable, at least to me. I have many other Italian cookbooks and the recipes in those are generally very simple. I have not had any success with this book.

If you love food, and the preparation and appreciation of all that goes into it, you will like this book. There are gorgeous photos in it that make the mouth water. And empathetic photos of the people who love to create good food. Locatelli's descriptions of his beginnings as a chef, and the trials and tribulations that made him the outstanding chef that he is, are informative and touching. He pulls the reader into that "conviviality" that makes a great restaurant, and makes us appreciate the ... Read More

I purchased this book for my sister-in-law for Christmas. We lived in London for a while and are familiar with Locanda Locatelli, the author's restaurant, and my brother and sis-in-law love Italy and the food, so this was thought to be a good fit. I read through the book before I wrapped it, and I was amazed at how comprehensive it is. There are wonderful stories and all kinds of insight into details of individual ingredients. It is absorbing and I could easily get lost in it, even before thinking ... Read More

I'm a cook who studied and worked in Italy. Therefore, I can tell you it is very difficult to find a cookbook that conveys the emotion, passion and devotion the Italians have for their cuisine(s), even in Italy. Therefore, the arrival of Giorgio Locatelli's book on American shores is an event to be celebrated.
Chef Giorgio does a fantastic job describing ingredients and recipes and includes histories and anecdotes from his own life, making this book more than just a cookbook; it is a rare ... Read More
