Modern Italian Food Cookbook

Modern Italian Food offers recipes with roots from the Old World into the New; from the Treviso dishes that Stefano and his family used to cook in Italy to the recipes that Stefano has developed using regional Australian produce. These recipes will tempt and encourage; with Stefano, there is no standing on ceremony or being precious. Food for him is about conviviality and hospitality, to be made and consumed with immense enjoyment and in the company of family and friends.

The recipes cover all meal types, and favour the domestic cook. With Stefano's vibrant prose and approachable recipes - built on the pillars of Italian fare: olive oil, salt, flour, polenta, vegetables, fish, seafood, meat - 'Modern Italian Food' is an unforgettable and stimulating culinary experience.

"The underlying intention is to reaffirm the basic principles of Italian gastronomy: freshness, simplicity and lack of pretention".

His food is approachable and packed with flavour, plus he radiates an enthusiasm, warmth and generosity of spirit rarely seen . . . Australian Gourmet Traveller
