Gino D'Acampo is passionate about Italian food. He is equally passionate about how to cook, and believes that you don't need hundreds of ingredients and complicated haute-cuisine techniques to achieve fantastic food. If you start cooking from the 100 recipes in his book, following his tips, NOT breaking his 10 rules - such as not mixing onion and garlic - and joining in his enthusiasm and humour, you will soon learn how to make great Italian food. 'Italian food is like Italian men,' says Gino. 'Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. Fantastico!'
