Gennaro Contaldo

In Gennaro's Hidden Italy, he opens the door to a side of the country rarely seen, guiding readers far beyond the familiar favourites and into the kitchens of Italy’s regions. 

Drawing on a lifetime of cooking and storytelling, he brings these nearly forgotten recipes back to the table, honouring their origins while gently refreshing them for today’s cook. The result is a collection of dishes that feel deeply personal and joyfully generous, rooted in tradition yet alive with warmth and character. More than a cookbook, Hidden Italy is an invitation to slow down, cook with heart, and discover the stories that live inside Italy’s most treasured regional food.

We have two recipes from the book for you to try - just click below.
