Gennaro Contaldo
"Beautiful, classic recipes made with passion, by the man who taught me everything I know about Italian cooking."
Gennaro Contaldo is one of the most respected chefs in London as well as a renowned personality in his own right. He is widely known as the Italian legend who taught Jamie Oliver all he knows about Italian cooking.
Born in Minori on the Amalfi Coast, Gennaro’s quintessentially Italian spirit and positive nature has made him a TV favourite. He regularly appears on Saturday Kitchen as well as his own TV show, the highly successful Two Greedy Italians.
His first cookbook, Passione, published in 2003 won Best Italian Cook Book 2003’, at the World Gourmand Cookbook Awards and was short listed for the André Simon Award. He has since written many other books on Italian cooking.
He has his own Food Tube channel online where you can see him cook delicious dishes.
