With this book Joseph takes us on a culinary journey to the Italy he grew up in - with recipes for the delicious food his family cooked for him as a child, and the inspired recipes he now cooks at home for his family and friends. With beautiful evocative photographs by Matt Russell, this cookbook is full of personal stories and Joseph's unique knowledge of Italian food and ingredients. This is a cookbook everyone should have in their kitchen.

In an effort to catch up with more topical recipes, I heard that Joe Trivelli, head chef at the River Café, was the one to bring my Italian cooking into the 21st century. So it has proved, though there is also a delightful number of his grandmother’s and auntie’s recipes here as well, albeit many that are new to me. A nice addition to the many Italian cookbooks I already have.
