Gennaro's Italian home cooking

When an Italian cooks dinner, it's always a meal to savour and enjoy with as many people as can be found to share it with.

In GENNARO'S HOME COOKING, Gennaro shares his favourite family recipes - the ones that will feed a crowd of hungry guests, from his 90-year-old father to his three-year-old twin girls.

Older generations give advice, all hands are on deck to help, and the whole family sit themselves down at the large dining table to join in the feast together.

The table is like the altar - to eat, drink, discuss, argue and confess - but most of all to enjoy the wonderful food!

All the recipes cater for large numbers of people, but have tips on how to adapt them for smaller groups, there are hints on how to prepare things in advance and advice on which dishes go with what, so it is full of creative menu ideas.

With GENNARO'S HOME COOKING you have everything you need to make your own kitchen a little slice of Italy.
