by Galliano Sommavilla

Cooking Italian style - with original music CD enclosed.

 

"Playing With Food" captures the true essence of regional Italian cooking, with honesty, simplicity and full enjoyment. There is nothing too elaborate or laborious about the recipes, simply a wholesome and flavoursome food experience.

In this book, Galliano Sommavilla delivers the recipes of his heritage and gastronomical adventures, as well as of his father, Benito (depicted in expansive mood on the cover). Benito was a celebrated career chef, whose culinary mastery graced the kitchens of the original Mario's (in Exhibition Street during the '50s and '60s), Society, Villa Borghese and his own Benito's in Brunswick Street in the early '80s. In doing so, he makes available traditional recipes, based on a cuisine centuries old and deservedly famous.
