Editorial Review:Bestselling author Jamie Oliver finally devotes an entire book to America's favorite cuisine -- Italian! Italy and its wonderful flavors have always had a major influence on Jamie Oliver’s food and cooking. In Jamie’s Italy, he travels this famously gastronomic country paying homage to the classic dishes of each region and searching for new ideas to bring home. The result is a sensational collection of Italian recipes, old and new, that will ensure that Italy’s influence reaches us all. Italy has inspired Jamie Oliver throughout his career. His ambition has always been to travel across the country on a quest to capture the very essence of Italian cooking -- and to produce the best and simplest Italian cookbook for everybody anywhere to enjoy. Jamie’s Italy is the result of that journey -- and it’s a land of plenty. As well as providing more than 120 brand-new recipes for everything from risotto to roasts and spaghetti to stews, structured as traditional trattoria menus, Jamie takes you all over Italy to cook with and learn from the real masters of Italian cuisine: the locals. Far from the standard "lemons and olives" version of Italian cooking, Jamie’s Italy is a cookbook by the people for the people. From Sicily to Tuscany, it’s about the local fishermen, family bakers, and, of course, the "Mamas," sharing their recipes and the tips that have gone into their cooking for generations. But it’s not only mouthwatering food that Jamie brings back home: it’s also the spirit that makes cooking and eating absolutely central to family life, whichever part of Italy you’re in. Bursting with the warmth and hospitality of real family life, this is both a superbly accessible cookbook and a unique travelogue and diary, in which you’ll find the authentic flavor of Italy and the people who live there. If you love quality food prepared with genuine passion -- you’ll never want to leave Jamie’s Italy.

I recently bought this cookbook for my brother who had tried a lot of Jamie's grilled recipes. He cooks a lot of Italian so I thought it'd be a good match. He loved it! I have heard about some great recipes already! Interesting ingredient combination in some of them. I will definitely have to find a copy for myself sometime soon.

I don't know what people were drinking when they wrote their reviews of praise. I used three recipes last night, and against my better judgement, I promised myself I would not tinker and make a truly Jamie Oliver night of it. Well, disaster struck. Two of the three, the starter and the dessert were miserably uncooperative. The main course saved the evening but perhaps not my reputation as a decent cook. I did break the rules a bit and doubled the sugar in the rice pie (Torta di Riso), and the ... Read More

Was not happy with the condition of the cover of this book. It was written on in black pen that can not be erased. Also it is ripped. Would not order again from this person. The inside of the book was okay.

I am a US citizen of northern Italian heritage. I want to start learning the language, and learning to cook Italian. This book was recommend to me by a family member. I have briefly read parts of it, and have begun cooking some of the recipes.
1). I absolutely enjoy Jaime's style of writing. It is humorous and gives me a sense of the Italian people from whence he gets his recipes. He interacts with the common man (woman and child) to get his recipes and insight into the people.

Book arrived quickly and in condition described. Although we like Jamie's cooking style, the book was a little shallow.
