About this title

Synopsis

Launch head chef at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen London, and now head chef at Fifteen, Melbourne, Australia, Tobie Puttock cooks ripper Italian food. This simple, edgy and dynamic cookbook rewrites some rules and ignores others of Italian cuisine. Yet however far Tobie pushes the boundaries of tradtions, he sticks closely to the guiding principle of great Italian cuisine: that cooking is, if nothing else, an act of love.Daily Italian is a compilation of 100 of Tobie's Italian recipes - from crumbed swordfish with rosemary or chilli and sausage and fennel risotto to fried mozzarella with saffron or chocolate and olive oil tart. These are superb recipes, rooted in classical Italian cooking, but adapted to be extra generous and easy to prepare. The book, both in terms of of the food and the look, has an energy, individuality and edginess that is contagious.

About the Authors

Tobie's passion for cooking has taken him all over the world; from Melbourne's Caffe e Cucina, to Lake Como's Hotel Florence, and even to St Moritz. Summer 1999 saw him working at the River Cafe in London. Jamie Oliver approached him in 2001 to be Head Chef at his new restaurant Fifteen, and Tobie was instrumental in helping Fifteen achieve the status of Tatler's "Restaurant of the Year". Tobie regularly makes TV appearances and has appeared on numerous shows, including Jamie's Kitchen. He returned home to Melbourne in 2005 where he is now Head Chef of Melbourne's Fifteen. He was a regular on Australia's longest running morning show Channel 10's Good Morning Australia and is also a regular on Australia's Ready Steady Cook, and is now one of Australia's most high profile celebrities.

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has wowed food lovers with his fresh, no-nonsense cooking style and his inspiring recipes. In 2002, Jamie embarked on his ambitious Fifteen project, which was accompanied by the popular Channel 4 TV series Jamie's Kitchen. He took 15 under-privileged youngsters with virtually no previous experience of cooking and transformed them into professional chefs to staff his new restaurant Fifteen in London. This was followed by Return to Jamie's Kitchen in 2003. Jamie lives in London.
