Bill’s Italian Food (HarperCollins, R420)

What foodie doesn’t love Australia’s self-taught culinary maestro, Bill Granger? Here he captures the essence of why Italian cuisine remains the epitome of delicious, fresh and fuss-free food with family at the heart of it. These recipes are for gatherings with a table large enough to accommodate the platters on offer – Ligurian fish stew, artichoke and ham lasagne, baked ricotta cheesecake. Highlight: You will need a glass of wine as you turn the pages and imagine yourself in Tuscany, living la dolce vita!
