Product Description:
Italy and its wonderful flavors have always had a major influence on Jamie Oliver’s food and cooking. In Jamie’s Italy, he travels this famously gastronomic country paying homage to the classic dishes of each region and searching for new ideas to bring home. The result is a sensational collection of Italian recipes, old and new, that will ensure that Italy’s influence reaches us all. Italy has inspired Jamie Oliver throughout his career. His ambition has always been to travel across the country on a quest to capture the very essence of Italian cooking — and to produce the best and simplest Italian cookbook for everybody anywhere to enjoy. Jamie’s Italy is the result of that journey — and it’s a land of plenty. As well as providing more than 120 brand-new recipes for everything from risotto to roasts and spaghetti to stews, structured as traditional trattoria menus, Jamie takes you all over Italy to cook with and learn from the real masters of Italian cuisine: the locals. Far from the standard “lemons and olives” version of Italian cooking, Jamie’s Italy is a cookbook by the people for the people. From Sicily to Tuscany, it’s about the local fishermen, family bakers, and, of course, the “Mamas,” sharing their recipes and the tips that have gone into their cooking for generations. But it’s not only mouthwatering food that Jamie brings back home: it’s also the spirit that makes cooking and eating absolutely central to family life, whichever part of Italy you’re in. Bursting with the warmth and hospitality of real family life, this is both asuperbly accessible cookbook and a unique travelogue and diary, in which you’ll find the authentic flavor of Italy and the people who live there. If you love quality food prepared with genuine passion — you’ll never want to leave Jamie’s Italy.

Customer Reviews

Simply Amazing! by Elizabeth Bennet
I bought this book after I flipped through it at my Aunt’s home. I thought it looked interesting, but after looking at the cookbook as an actual book, rather than a place for recipes I was astonished to find that I was perfectly happy sitting down and just reading it. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes that I have tried are delicious! My grandfather, a very proud Italian man was impressed with this book, and together we have tried some recipes and loved them! This book is full of Italian dishes that are fun to try with a bunch of family or good friends over for a Sunday dinner. Just great!

Grazie, Jamie by John William Banchero
How can I not recommend this book? It is one of the best of my vast Italian cookbook collection, of which I have over 1,000. Having been raised in an Italian and Sicilian home and having cooked in Italy’s Piemonte and Sicily, plus owning an Italian restaurant at one time–also a culinary columnist for an Italian newspaper in California for eight years–I well know the soul of my people’s cookery. I’ve ALWAYS felt, and written in my articles, that one had to be born to my kitchen, that a non-Italian couldn’t grasp its essence, well I was proved wrong with Jamie’s book JAMIE’S ITALY (and his TV cooking shows)… In this his latest book he has proved he is more connected to the heart of Italian cooking than most Italians. I’ve cooked about 15 recipes from JAMIE’S ITALY and not one has been a disappointment. Amoungst the many things I like about this newest book is that it is a good read, the recipes are authentic, well explained and not complicated… It is the cookery of the true ancient kitchen, nothing experimental, all well proved over the ages, all healthy. Thank you Jamie. Gian Banchero, Berkeley, California

Jamie’s Italy by Marilyn Rotolo
Awesome book! Well written stories with the recipe’s that share personal experiences and travels. Ingredients readily obtained and photo’s that entice you to get cooking. Much more than a cook book. . . . outstanding read!

A True Celebration… by Andrew Giambarba
This book is a true celebration of Italy, Italian food and the person who is Jamie Oliver. I read through 3/4 of it in my first sitting, have made a dozen different recipes from it and every time I look at it I feel more kinship with the coolest chef on the Planet. He just DIGS food, people, travel and life. This is a MUST HAVE.
