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 a superbly 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. | | | Features: | |

 ExcellentAug 28, 2010
This book is amazing. All the recipes are to die for and the written stories inside about each recipe and his time in Italy are wonderful. This book is totally worth the money.

Great present!Mar 12, 2010
I recently bought this cookbook for my brother who had tried a lot of Jamie's grilled recipes. He cooks a lot of Italian so I thought it'd be a good match. He loved it! I have heard about some great recipes already! Interesting ingredient combination in some of them. I will definitely have to find a copy for myself sometime soon.
 DisasterFeb 13, 2010
I don't know what people were drinking when they wrote their reviews of praise. I used three recipes last night, and against my better judgement, I promised myself I would not tinker and make a truly Jamie Oliver night of it. Well, disaster struck. Two of the three, the starter and the dessert were miserably uncooperative. The main course saved the evening but perhaps not my reputation as a decent cook. I did break the rules a bit and doubled the sugar in the rice pie (Torta di Riso), and the remarks at table?.. "What's missing is sugar." The texture was rubbery, the taste unequalled in blandness (despite the massive orange rind input) and I ended up with enough filling and crust for two pies. The shortcrust pastry was yummy though. For the fried ricotta (Ricotta Fritta), I had a feeling there was not enough binding (balance of ricotta, flour and egg was wrong), and sure enough, they fell apart horribly in the pan, much more horribly than Jamie had warned. I just kept coddling them in the pan until something presentable could be mustered for my guests. The taste was saved by my not being as sparing with the salt as was advised. The stuffed pork chops (Costolette di Maiale) were the big hit of the evening, but given what preceded and what followed, I suppose we were all looking for a winner and something to fill our bellies! It's a lovely book to look at, the photographs are amazing, I like Jamie's chatty style of writing, and his love of Italy and Italian cooking is infectious, but I would not try another recipe without lending it some much-needed help.

 Jamie's ItalyNov 30, 2009
Was not happy with the condition of the cover of this book. It was written on in black pen that can not be erased. Also it is ripped. Would not order again from this person. The inside of the book was okay.
