Bring the authentic flavour of Italy into your kitchen! In this stunning cookbook, former head chef of the Michelin star restaurant River Café Theo Randall presents over 100 delicious recipes that chefs of every level will be able to recreate at home. With full colour, specially commissioned photography and dishes covering meat, fish and vegetarian diets, as well as sweet treats, this is a real treasure trove of recipes the whole family will love.

For Theo Randall, food is a pleasure to be shared with friends and family and cooking should be relaxing, enjoyable. With this in mind, Theo's recipes take from just 15 minutes to make from scratch so you can pick a dish depending on the time you have, then spend more time eating, enjoying and sharing the food you've prepared.

Chapters are split by meal times with an emphasis on simplicity, with big and small sharing plates and lots of one-pots on offer. There are speedy starters, mains and puddings but Theo shows you how to make Italian staples from scratch too. So, when you do have time and want to make your own pastry or bake your own pizza, you have the best recipes to hand to really delve into the Italian art of cooking.

Learn how to create culinary delights such as beef and porcini stew with rosemary and tomato, gnocchi with globe artichokes and Parmesan, Amalfi lemon tart and pan-fried squid with beans, chilli, anchovy and rocket.

Fresh and innovative, Theo's approach means you can relax at mealtimes while enjoying delicious food every day of the week.
