GINO'S ITALY

BY GINO D'ACAMPO (BLOOMSBURY, R740)

‘People have this idea that in every Italian family there are secret recipes that get passed down the generations. And it's 100 percent true! This book is my way of celebrating the amazing women in all our families. I want to show my love and appreciation for everything they have done for me.’ Drawing on the wisdom of his late mother, his 15 bossy aunties, and a whole nation of home-cooking nonnas, Gino shares the secrets to making the very best version of much-loved Italian classics. With over 80 recipes for the ultimate Italian classics, ranging from quick weeknight meals to classic blowouts (think scallops, risotto, slow-cooked pork, espresso cheesecake), this is Gino's most iconic book yet.

THRIVE

BY NICCI ROBERTSON (STRUIK LIFESTYLE, R380)
