They’re growing like weeds and popping up like PS3 Slims. Under 30 and going strong, the Italian response to Jamie Oliver are the likes of Simone Rugiati, Pier Giorgio Papini, and a handful of others. Italian boos making the best of what Italy has to offer with the best of what Italian moms have given the world.
In print, Simone Rugiati’s “Shock and Awe in 20 minutes” is a sure way to move your bride towards the pots and pans. Easy and tasteful recipes accompanied by inspiring shots of the scrumptous chef himself.
And if pictures are not enough, a fun DVD gives you some kitchen klues like how to peel tomatoes or make instant crepes, plus a film biography of Simone himself (sigh!).
