Win One of Three copies of Gennaro's Hidden Italy Cookbook

We’re delighted to welcome Gennaro Contaldo as our Feedback guest for February. In his interview Gennaro reflects on a lifetime devoted to Italian cooking and shares two recipes with us from his latest book, Hidden Italy: Regional Recipes to Treasure for Generations. In celebration of the books release on February 26th, we've got three copies to giveaway so enter now for your chance to win.

Rooted in memory and place, this cookbook draws on travels through Tuscany, Sicily and Italy’s lesser-known regions where Gennaro revisits dishes that once formed the backbone of everyday family cooking - recipes passed down through generations, many now remembered by only a handful of nonnas. In Hidden Italy, they are carefully recorded and brought back to life.

Organised by region - North, Central, South and the Islands - you'll get to discover dishes that once formed the heart of Italian family gatherings: humble pasta variations, vibrant sauces, and comforting classics. For a sneak peek at two dishes from the book, head to our Books for Cooks pages where you'll find Gennaro's Pane Squarato (aniseed bread) recipe and his Polpette Della Quaresima (dumplings made with bread and ricotta).
