The Art of Traditional Italian

Sydney restaurateur Lucio Galletto celebrates the food of his childhood - the simplicity, creativity and passion that makes traditional Italian cooking so timeless and appealing.

All the classics are here, from minestrone and risotto alla milanese to caponata and peperonata, veal saltimbocca, lasagna, osso buco and sweet favourites like tiramisu and panna cotta.

Lucio's eponymous restaurant is famously lined with artworks by some of Australia's most accomplished artists, and this book follows suit - each chapter features original artwork from one of his artist friends.

A feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds, this glorious book will become a treasured addition to the shelves of cooks and artists everywhere.
